And the content of Harry Potter doesn't include Dumbledore being gay. Maybe she imagined him doing lots of things, but her imagination doesn't change the content of her written stories.

I'm sure lots of authors imagine their characters in a certain way, perhaps imagine them in different situations or in various conversations with their other characters, etc etc. So what if the author claims that Dumbledore is gay AFTER she's finished writing the whole series? I mean, great, whatever, but it's still not a part of the actual written series whatsoever.

It's simply not a part of the story, at all. This list is called 'Best Fantasy Books with Gay Main Characters.' To me, and I think to most people, that implies that the books on this list have at least one gay lead character, AND that his being gay is obvious and somehow a part of the story.Īs far as I am concerned, there are no gay main characters in the Harry Potter series since it's never mentioned or really even implied in any way.
