JK Rowling caused a bit of a stir while talking to fans at the Carnegie Hall in New York. She said that she 'always thought Dumbledore was gay'.Jo said that Dumbledore fell in love with the wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be really interested in the dark arts rather then the good, Dumbledore felt 'terribly let down'. He went on to destroy his rival.
Dumbledore's love for Grindelwald was a 'great tragedy', according to JK Rowling. She went on to say, "Falling in love can blind us to an extent."
