Hogwarts gay
J.K. Rowling has confirmed that some of the characters in the "Harry Potter" universe are gay. Some fans, however, are perturbed that these characters don't actually identify as same-sex attracted in the books or movies.
In a special features interview for the "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" BluRay release, Rowling confirmed a relationship between characters Dumbledore and Grindelwald. "Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was ardent, and it was a love relationship," Rowling said. The Twitter account "The Rowling Library" transcribed this section of the interview.
"But as happens in any relationship, gay or unbent or whatever label we want to put on it, one never knows really what the other person is feeling. You can't know, you can believe you know," Rowling continued. "So I'm less interested in the sexual side – though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this relationship – than I am in the perception of the emotions they felt for each other, which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationship."
Rowling previously revealed Dumbledore was same-sex attracted and even responded to a fan who tweeted they couldn't "see" the headmast
Five “Harry Potter” Characters I Read as LGBTQ
There are lots of LGBTQ readings of Harry Potter out there, and some of the popular ones involve Drarry (Draco and Harry), Sirius Black as bisexual person, and Charlie Weasley as asexual. Of course, everyone has their own ships and headcanons, and there is no shortage of remarkable fan art depicting them. Here are a couple of the characters that I read as LGBTQ, and I endeavor to base my interpretations as much as feasible on cues from the text.
1. Colin Creevey
Colin Creevey is overenthusiastic about everything, but his obsession with Harry seems like an obvious 11-year-old crush to me. Memorizing his schedule, taking pictures of him, trying to bring him grapes in the hospital wing – how else does a middle schooler know how to reveal his affection? Later on, Colin seems to tranquil down a bit and shows a more mellow admiration of Harry, and I imagine that by then he has moved on to other crushes and relationships.
2. Marietta Edgecombe
Why does Marietta come with Cho to DA lessons even though she clearly doesn’t want to be there? Why does she tell on the DA after six months of attendin
This is a very scientific and significant peer-reviewed study.
Madam Hooch
This one is cute obvious. Madam Hooch’s marital status is never mentioned, and in the planet of J K Rowling that’s cute much a deceased giveaway for gayness. She is also a sports educator and referee who has short spiky hair and mostly wears a button-up shirt and tie. It’s a no-brainer. Clichés are clichéd for a reason.
Petunia Dursley
If we’re active from the metaphor of “magic” equating to queerness, then Mrs Dursley’s latent gayness should arrive as no surprise. The reason that she hates wizards and witches so much is because she doesn’t get to be one, and then she’s stuck with the repulsive, male Vernon Dursley. She needs a sweet lady to un-purse those lips of hers.
Bellatrix Lestrange
Bellatrix’s whole aesthetic is totally “goth gay;” kind of Wicked Willow from Buffy vibes. The only dude she’s into is Voldemort, and that’s definitely platonic because can you ever observe Voldemort deriving pleasure from anything other than killing naive people? What a bad gal babe.
Pomona Sprout
Professor Sprout is a Professor of Herbology i.e. she specialized in one of the most lesbian past-tim
Harry Potter is Gay: An Investigation of Queer Fan Culture
Many survey respondents discussed fearing fetishization of queerness from within the community, but not as much as they cited fearing backlash to their headcanons. One respondent Tia says, “My least favorite part is the part when I come offline and realize that it's not happy and warm out here as it is in there. Nobody shares the headcanons we share, our interpretations of characters. They are really cruel, and it always hurts to remember that.” Here it is obvious that queer fan fiction is not only a way for people to see their retain identities normalized and reflected back at them, but also a community that thrives off of one another and will always be there to remind others that they are not alone despite outside criticism.
In addition, many people are under the impression that lgbtq+ fan fiction’s audience consists of heterosexual women merely interested in sexual situations involving male characters. However, as I already stated, 87% of my respondents were queer. Furthermore, many of them stated that overly graphic fan fictions make them uncomfortable: nearly 30% of respondents were asexual and mo
