“What do I do?” ;) Nice job, Melissa! It was really sudden- I clicked on Leaky and then I heard your name on the TV.

It was too sudden for me to get to tape it, so will the same footage be on again at 4:40 or is it another appearance?

Ah I just saw the commercial for it and freaked out! Tonight at 8:00 yes!

The man reporting was like “Now that Dumbledore is a gay wizard..”

Um..heh.

What’s tonight at 8?

It’s Dumbledore, he’s an incredible wizard, champion of Muggles, Harry’s mentor and a beautifully written human character! Now, it’s “Dumbledore is a GAY wizard”, like nothing else is pertinent…, silly gits!

Nice job! You spoke quite eloquently on the matter. Now if only that reporter can pronounce your name correctly! XD

Are they showing it again at 8PM???

I’m taping it and I’ll send it in as soon as I can!

As a Harry Potter fan I am aghast to hear of the portrayal of Dumbeldore as a homosexual. This only shows to what lengths some people can go to sell some extra books. J.K. Rowling should be ashamed.

oh no, not here too….There are other links talking about this..please go there.

Here we should celebrate Melissa

Folks, this is a work of FICTION, Dumbledore is not a REAL PERSON and JKR was just answering a fan’s QUESTION. I was there and she was reluctant when she mentioned this information so it is not a ploy to make more money. It is HER STORY and HER CHARACTERS!!! Get a life folks. kmrn

AKG, too bad she’ll never be ashamed right? :)

Go Melissa!
