[HPFGU-OTChatter] Sex! Love! Writing!

[Sharon Hayes]

Mike:
<SNIP> Did anyone ever
guess that DD was written as gay before JKR's statement/answer? I
know of nobody that can claim to have ventured that guess. <BIG SNIP>

Sharon:
It occurred to me when I read DH that the relationship between DD and Grindlewald seemed rather close and possibly deeper than mere friendship. DD seemed to be smitten with Grindlewald. And of course we never ever hear about anyone else that DD has loved like that, so yes, I did think that there was something there. Of course, she wouldn't spell it out in the books possibly becuase children read them and it might be controversial, but it seemed to me she gave enough of a hint that a thoughful adult could put two and two together.
