LMAO - that is brilliant - shes sold off shed loads to the US public already so it doesnt matter what she reveals now + could cause some extra publicity when the next film comes out.

Pretty certain she said gay, not paedophile.

I think your really funny sometimes, I am no harry potter fan and I know who he is, You know you know who it is but you felt like posting this anyway.

Just say "I dont care" it still fits with your "me vs world" way of posting we all have come to know without being daft about it

I think its a great message. Shes saying gay people can do just as well as straight people

...(which Im sure is news to everyone  :roll: ) but only if they spend 7 entire books not talking to anyone about what is perhaps one of the biggest defining features of their character and life.

Hold on, dya think maybe its a publicity thing?

I dont reckon the fact that he is gay is a publicity thing

the timing of this news being released to the public possibly could have been - though it was only revealed in response to a question
