Dumbledore's clothes

[Carol]

Now that JKR has told the movie producers how they're supposed to see
DD's sexual orientation, does anyone think they'll pay more attention
to how she says he dresses? The sexual orientation is merely from an
interview (now reinforced with the rather defensive remark, "He is my
character. He is what he is and I have the right to say what I say
about him")

but the blue or violet robes with stars or moons or whatever (which
always made me think of Merlin, for some reason) are canon. I really
hope that the HBP!movie Dumbledore will dress as DD dresses in that
book (plum-colored suit when he visits Tom Riddle's orphanage and all).

BTW, I know that flashy dressing is a stereotype, but it's JKR uses it
and it's a consistent part of DD's characterization in the books.

Carol, who hopes that the costume designers will take another look at
JKR's descriptions of DD's wardrobe now that he's out of the closet
