 Reached and Spanked 1000! The Snitch
I believe that someone's sexuality is as important as that person wants it to be. It wasn't a big deal when everyone thought DD was hetro, so why the big deal now this revelation has come. It didn't have anything to do with the plot line that was being told.
I say good for Jo, for making the books a bit more representative of the world we live in (despite the magic thing). Who knows, a lot more of the cast could turn out to be gay, it's just something that wasn't as important as saving the world from an egotistical, meglamaniac hell-bent on killing of our main character.
And I think that it is a fantastic thing that someone as important to the books as DD and who is such an intelligent and fabulous person has been outed by Jo. But then, maybe she didn't mention this earlier as the bigotry in the real world is more rampant than we thought, this detail, however insignificant to the story, would dominate the publicity of the books rather than the quality writing and talent of JKR.
I think that it adds to the image of his character, but it is ashame that the only love he felt was for the guy that may have been responsible for the death of his sister. I just feel like he led a lonely life, despite being adored and admired by many people. |
