Dumbledore, the famous magician and director of the school of magic of Hogwarts keeps a secret of youth: he is gay
GAYLES.TV.- The followers of the famous saga of "Harry Potter"Written by JKRowling, will undoubtedly remember the image of young Potter in the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sitting in front of Oesed mirror, a magical object that shows you what you want most. The boy was reflected with his parents, whom he never met. Well, if the director of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, it will be placed in front of the mirror, what would it look like? Well, nothing more and nothing less would be seen with one of the most dangerous magicians in history: Gellert Grindelwald of whom, for years, Dumbledore has been secretly and deeply in love.
Something was glimpsed in the sequence of a previous installment of the saga in which Albus dies and the news has not caught completely unsuspecting followers more informed, but for most it has been a real surprise. Revealing that secret could have compromised Dumbledore's reputation at the helm of the Hogwarts high magic school and that would be the reason for keeping it a secret.
But in the recently released "Fantastic Animals: The Crimes of Grindelwald" the secret has come to light, at least at the narrative level, since Dumbledore's homosexuality had been recognized and claimed by the author herself some time ago. The bombing for the fans has been discovering who was in love, in the words of Rowling "It is a story of unrequited love, suffering and death." The writer, speaking to "WhatCulture", has hinted that Grindelwald used Albus's feelings to make himself more powerful, «I think he was a manipulator and a narcissist, and such a person would use infatuation in his favor. I don't think he reciprocated in that way, although he was as dazzled by Dumbledore's charisma as Dumbledore was by his. He saw in Albus someone as talented, as powerful, and as brilliant as he. 'Together we will be unstoppable!' So I think he would do anything to get Dumbledore on his side.«Added the writer.
Jude Law, who plays the young Dumbledore in "Fantastic Animals: The Crimes of Grindelwald", has declared in an interview to “The New York Times” that it is about time that what is recognized in press conferences is not hidden on the screen with subtleties and euphemisms. But the controversy has unleashed it by stating that today's boys and girls should have gay icons. Specifically in this film, he considers that Albus's sexuality largely justifies the plot: «This film is not about his homosexuality, nor does it define him, but that relationship is a determining factor in who he is. I don't think Dumbledore is someone who has given his heart and soul to many people. The end of that relationship left him with a frozen heart, to be honest, and no one has managed to unfreeze it yet. ".
In short, we have one more reason not to miss this fantastic premiere on the big screen.
