Harry Potter Author Schools Fan Who 'Can't See' Dumbledore as Gay
J.K. Rowling answers back at a fan who questions why she made Dumbledore a gay character.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, a fan reached out to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on Twitter earlier today to ask her why she made Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore a gay character, reports U.K. newspaper The Independent.
"Thank you so much for writing Harry Potter. I wonder why you said that Dumbledore is a gay because I can't see him in that way," wrote Ana Kocovic.
Rowling aptly responded with this simple tweet:
\u201c.@anakocovic21 Maybe because gay people just look like... people?\u201d— J.K. Rowling (@J.K. Rowling) 1427216570
Kocovic then graciously responded to Rowling's answer, thanking the author once more and calling her an "inspiration."
@jk_rowling amazing answer... Yes you are absolutely right. Such an inspiration!!!

\u201c.@claraoswiin But of course.\u201d— J.K. Rowling (@J.K. Rowling) 1418772133
