I could have done a better comic about it, but honestly, for a good laughs, just monitor Deviantart

Nothing like opening the Ottawa Citizen to the lastest scandal about an imaginary character!!! *LAUGHS* Honestly, most people seem rather happy about this turn of events. For most of us, this changes nothing to the series (especially since it's over.) For others, it's a great little add-on. Of course, for some parents/fans it's a scary little plaything. But, one way or another, it's canon, so people will just have to deal with it. I'm a little sad. I was a big MacGornagall / Dumbly shipper, but I must admit, this amuses me so much more! 

And for those who say "ah, I figured it out!" be honest: you're just as suprised as the rest of us.

Funny extra fact; on the same day I found an article about Oz where a few litterature critics stated that princess Ozma was also gay. Apparently, she was having a romantic friendship (aka strong love without sexual contact but some physical contact) with dorothy. Flipping throught the evidence, i'll admit it's possible. Ozma was turned into a boy called Tip for a good part of the story by a witch. According to the critic it might be one of the reasons for it.

It's an interesting theme I could perhaps use in my current art...

Oh well. That's all i've got for now about the recently outed people of magic worlds...

I didn't see much point to the 'revelation' that Dumbledore is gay. He was a good man, he seemed to behave himself throughout the story (so he won't get that epitaph on his gravestone), and now he's dead and apparently in a good place...so end of story. I do wonder what J.K. Rowling's intent was in revealing this, really.

...I think I am glad you decided to make Ozma her own person though... ^_^;

(By the by, I think I finally got my scanner to behave, so I ought to have those doodlings I told you about posted soon.)

I can understand why J.K.Rowling didn't reveal that Dumbledore was gay until now because it could have caused so much controversy that the whole plot of the series could have been easily over shadowed by it.

I can't wait to see Ozma in your story. I had always thought she was a cool character.

I find it an interesting little tid-bit of information, like most of the other stuff she's putting out about characters. But I'm a very character driven person and I want to know all about them. It makes me a bit sad that people are saying "What's the point?" or things of those nature when I know they wouldn't have cared or noticed if he'd had been married to a woman and had ten children.

I had a feeling, and now I want to read that chapter in Rita Skeeter's book about "the disturbing relationship" between harry and dumbledore even more! lol

Good old' Rita Skeeter!

I kinda liked the actress they used in the movie. It was a good choice.
