LONDON, March 25 (UPI) — British author J.K. Rowling took to Twitter Tuesday to respond to a fan’s inquiry about why Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore was gay.
The 49-year-ol author revealed in 2007, after the seven Harry Potter books were published, that the beloved character was gay. When a fan tweeted at her claiming she couldn’t “see him in that way,” Rowling wrote back explaining that “gay people just look like… people.”
Twitter user @anakocovic, who has since deleted her first tweet, later thanked Rowling for her “amazing answer.”
@jk_rowling amazing answer… Yes you are absolutely right. Such an inspiration!!!— Ana Kocovic (@anakocovic21) March 24, 2015
Dumbledore died in Rowling’s sixth Harry Potter book, The Half-Blood Prince. He was portrayed on screen by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon after the former’s death.
