After an intial gasp from the crowd, Rowling received a standing ovation for the comment. "If I'd known this would make you this happy, I would have announced it years ago," she continued. "The Potter books in general are a prolonged argument for tolerance, a prolonged plea for an end to bigotry, and I think it's one of the reasons some people don't like the books." Read Full Story

Wayson Choy, the Trillium Award-winning writer who assumed the unofficial position as Canada's premier gay novelist after Timothy Findley's death, says that JK Rowling's announcement that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were former gay lovers is of enormous societal importance. "She's taking a major leap in bringing human history up to date," he says from his Toronto home, where he's working on his latest memoir. "It means that she has the courage to suggest that even in children's books, the real world, with its adult intrigues, can be respected by children.

A few quotes from the books, movies, and JK Rowling herself that hinted at Grindelwald's past with Dumbledore:

"Neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald ever seems to have referred to this brief boyhood friendship in later life," Rowling wrote. "However, there can be no doubt that Dumbledore delayed, for some five years of turmoil, fatalities, and disappearances, his attack upon Gellert Grindelwald. Was it lingering affection for the man or fear of exposure as his once best friend that caused Dumbledore to hesitate?"
