While I have never read, will read, nor want to read Harry Potter, and have spoken out against Christians (especially Christian youth) reading it - I wonder for those who have "supported it" or felt it harmless, think now with the revelation of the author that one of the main characters is gay:

Well that is not a shock really, it seems like these days a gay character has to be portrayed somewhere in the story line in the entertainment world. They just have to be included.
 I have never read Harry Potter, just the knowledge of it being about witchcraft was enough for me and my sons to steer clear. butterflywings |

This was such a ridiculous political move. I mean, nothing in the books anywhere mention it, the two characters relationship were only mentioned in the last book, and it was described as a friendship that went bad because one wanted to take over the world. Now that the books are completely finished, a popular character is suddenly gay? I mean, that's crazy. How does a dead fictional character come out of the closet? Even so, there was no implied sexual activity anyway, only interest, she was pretty careful about how she approached it.

The books are just fantasy. Modern witchcraft is pretty pathetic by comparison. Have you ever avoided stepping on a crack, or walking under a ladder, knocked on wood, etc... That's all part of Wicca and druidism. If reading the books made me long for that life again, I would stand against them.
Still, it's really offensive to retroactively make a character gay. Not brave enough to loose the revenue by doing it in the books. This is like saying that Scrooge used to be in love with Kratchet. It's not something that happened anywhere in the story, but suddenly at a whim, a DEAD character suddenly has more story than was written. Horrible practice.
