Dumbledore Gay, JK Amazes fans

The late Richard Harris as Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

There could hardly have been a bigger sensation if Russell Crowe, Rod Stewart or Sven-Goran Eriksson had come out of the closet. Millions of fans around the world were yesterday digesting the news that one of the main characters in the Harry Potter novels, Albus Dumbledore, is gay.

The revelation came from author JK Rowling during a question-and-answer session at New York's Carnegie Hall. It instantly hurtled around the internet and the world. News websites in China and Germany announced starkly: 'JK Rowling: "Dumbledore is gay".' One blogger wrote on a fansite: 'My head is spinning. Wow. One more reason to love gay men.'

After reading briefly from her mega-selling book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on Friday night, Rowling took questions from an audience of 1,600 students. A 19-year-old from Colorado asked about the avuncular headmaster of Hogwarts School: 'Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall in love himself?'

The author replied: 'My truthful answer to you...I always thought of Dumbledore as gay.' The audience reportedly fell silent - then erupted into prolonged applause.

Rowling, 42, continued: 'Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald [a bad wizard he defeated long ago], and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in love can blind us to an extent, but he met someone as brilliant as he was and, rather like Bellatrix, he was very drawn to this brilliant person and horribly, terribly let down by him.'

She added: 'Yeah, that's how I always saw Dumbledore. In fact, recently I was in a script read-through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying, "I knew a girl once, whose hair..." I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, "Dumbledore's gay!"'

Amazed by the warm reaction of the audience, Rowling, on her first US tour in seven years, joked: 'Just imagine the fan fiction now.'

  Gay Halloween Costume Idea 1 – Christian Bale's Batman

  Christian Bale has been a poster boy for straight women and gay men alike ever since his iconic performance in American Psycho, but it is his turn in the revived Batman franchise that makes an ideal gay Halloween costume idea. To recreate the Dark Knight look cheaply, items include:

  • A dark pair of fitted trousers.
  • A flowing black cape.
  • A black mask that fully covers the upper face as part of a skullcap with antenna like horns.
  • Finally, don't forget the bat signal, stuck on to the centre of Batman's chest!

  If part of a couple, a budding Batman might like to take his Robin along to the Halloween party too. In this instance, try the 1997 Batman and Robin film for inspiration which had suits with very chiseled physiques.

The gay interest film that took the world by storm, Brokeback Mountain gives an ideal opportunity for making a gay Halloween costume inexpensively for either a single man or a gay trick-or-treating couple, just don't forget to add some Wyoming drawl alongside this Halloween party outfit for that truly authentic feel. The items required include:

• A cowboy hat. Ennis appears to favour a lighter cream hat whereas Jack, as a rodeo man, prefers a jet black one.
• Plaid shirts. Ennis wears light blue or pale shirts whereas Jack is more adventurous with deeper colours such as greens and reds.
• Scuffed cowboy boots are a must for the final touch to this gay cowboy Halloween costume.

• A spear (blunted, of course).
• A long red cloak.
• A loin cloth if the wearer has the thighs for it. Otherwise, some tan coloured shorts are a good substitute.
• A smattering of fake blood.

Gay Halloween Costume Idea 3 – Ennis and Jack from Brokeback Mountain

Gay Halloween Costume Idea 4 – Dumbledore from the Harry Potter Series

After acclaimed writer J.K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, was gay, the possibility of making a Dumbledore Halloween costume has become more enticing. For this master wizard a few key items to add that extra touch of magic to a Halloween party outfit are:

• A long, flowing purple robe (or blue if going for the Michael Gambon version).
• A pale golden wand.
• A small pair of spectacles
• Long white hair and an equally lengthy white beard.

Gay Halloween Costume Idea 5 – Sam and Frodo from The Lord of the Rings

Whilst not actually identified as gay characters, Sam and Frodo become very close throughout the course of The Lord of the Rings, leading some fans and scholars to speculate as to the nature of their relationship. A simple concept, the two hobbits make a great pairing for another gay Halloween party outfit idea. For this, the following items will be required:

• Curly, shaggy looking wigs that hang loosely about the face.
• White shirts.
• Green or brown waistcoats.
• Brown or black three-quarter-length trousers.
• Large, bare feet (fake if genetics have not been forthcoming).

Gay Halloween Costume Ideas – The Spooky Fun Doesn't Stop Here

Whatever gay Halloween costume appeals, the above list of ideas shows that simple, iconic pieces are what dressing for Halloween parties is all about, so have fun and create more gay Halloween costume ideas using these suggestions as a starting point.

Nobody ever made fags like John Lennon. Personne n'a jamais fait tapettes comme John Lennon.

Hot 'n Spicy Kisses: John Lennon, Jerry Lee Lewis &  Feet

Il voulait que ses fesses nues prises.

J'ai commandé deux.

L'alcool, du tabac et du jambon, du bébé.

Même si vous transpirez, ne vous inquiétez pas, vous pouvez voir si je suis enceinte.

Je prends le contrôle des naissances de la Beatlemania.

The Beatles, danseuses brésiliennes, musiciens et autres choses sont toutes les explications nécessaires à la journée de Jerry Lee changé pour toujours.

Beatlemania est Universal Music, et la légende du rock Jerry Lee Lewis n'en croyait pas ses yeux.

John Lennon se mit à genoux pour baiser les pieds dans les toilettes.

Je vous remercie pour des groupes comme les Beatles.

"It Was Like My Piano ou de chantage, at-il dit.

Il embrassa mes pieds.

Je n'ai aucune idée de ce qu'il ferait à mon fils, Junior.

Il dit: «Papa, John Lennon?

Lennon a déclaré: "Oui, John Lennon l'angoisse, la baguette, la satisfaction, à la pénitence."

La star des Beatles est le tombeau de spermicides.

Walkabout en eau de rose.

John Lennon accéléré. Carte de crédit, Harrods, à minuit, et l'argent qu'il a caché - quelle honte pour tous les groupes comme les Fab Four leurs idoles menti

"Thésaurus Beatlemania. Je n'aime pas, mais après le baiser-up, les souvenirs sont privés, dit Lewis.

Ce serait ... C'est embarrassant ...

Etait-ce papa?

John Lennon?

LENNON!

Love Power, oi.

John Lennon.

Lennon et goulasch, vous savez. "

L'homme qui a rendu possible pour moi de jouer rock roll.

Si mon corps avaient été gelés parce que nous ne boivent jamais, yo, viticulteur dans le soleil.

Il est patient et il a dit: Je voulais juste que vous sachiez que vous êtes un homme, je suis un homme, mais ensemble, nous sommes des femmes.

Ne comprenez-vous?

Qui ont rendu possible pour moi?

Tu.

Rock-un garçon.

Non Jerry Lee Lewis, mais le caractère festif.

Shake pour l'Hôtel Royal.

Palm sur mon visage, il était humide ...

Lennon.

LENNON embrassé Jerry Lee.

Lewis étourdis John Lennon.

Star s'agenouilla et lui baisa les pieds de Légende.

Lennon a envoyé son piano à Schoo, y compris Lewis, qui est crédité lors de leur rencontre derrière des lieux emblématiques tels que des concerts par Roxy Music et des Beatles.

Lewis: Remember The Kiss?

Je n'ai aucune idée.

Que ferait-il si mon fils n'était pas là.

"Papa, qui va aider?"

«Papa, John Lennon a été ... petite?" "Oui, John Lennon a été ... Lennon était malade, et il ... Je veux juste que vous sachiez que vous êtes l'homme qui a rock star.

Je n'aurais pas pu le faire sans votre exemple.
