JK Rowling Perfectly Shuts Down A Question About Dumbledore Being Gay

by Adam Pliskin

It's been known for quite a while that JK Rowling wrote Albus Dumbledore as a gay man.

However, some people continue to refuse to believe this fact.

One "Harry Potter" fan tweeted Rowling saying she couldn't envision Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, as homosexual. And Rowling replied in a straightforward and perfect way.

Here's what she tweeted:

.@anakocovic21 Maybe because gay people just look like... people? — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 24, 2015

However, it doesn't seem as if the fan meant anything malicious by her tweet because she replied to Rowling with this tweet:

@jk_rowling amazing answer... Yes you are absolutely right. Such an inspiration!!! — Ana Kocovic (@anakocovic21) March 24, 2015

So, all's well that ends well, I suppose. Keep it up, Rowling.
