anyone think that since JKR told the scriptwriter that DD was gay, that they will play this 
up in the last two movies? I'm sure everyone will have their own POV on this, but I hope 
they don't try to make the movies 'politically correct' and enlarge on this idea. Any 
comments?

didn't bear in importance in the books. JKR revealed this after the point. I'm thinking she's 
wanting the focus to be mainly Harry and the importance surrounding him. Just my two 
cents.

I would agree.  Since we don't even find this out in the books, I can't imagine how they 
would introduce it in the films.  They already have to leave out things that ARE in the 
books.  Why would they spend air time on something that's a side topic.  Apart from 
Dumbledore just happening to mention a crush on some guy or just tossing out the 
phrase "And since I myself am gay . .  ." I can't see how this would work.

I certainly hope that they wouldn't try to "camp up" the character and I doubt they would. 
He's not campy in the books.  That would be pretty silly and would manage to offend lots 
of people.

Now I'm giggling wondering how long it will take before some comedy group plays this up 
with a very "La Cage Aux Folles" style Dumbledore skit or having him visit the Queer Eye 
guys to fix up Hogwarts or something.  Or has it already been done?
