much today):


I certainly agree with you that the books are in no way focused on 
homosexuality (I actually don't see it in the books *at all*), but I 
still disagree with you that tolerance is not the main theme. I see 
tolerance/anti-bigotry as the *only* theme that carries through all 
7 books. I see a theme as different than a plot. Dumbledore's 
seeking of power is part of the plot. Ariana's death is part of the 
plot.  These things may bear on the themes and sub-themes, but they 
are not themes in and of themselves.

Tiffany:

I never saw any direct evidence of homosexuality at all in the canon, 
but I had my doubts about DD based on what I was reading in the 
novels.  I agree that tolerance is the main theme in all 7 canonical 
novels, but I feel that JKR wanted the reader to learn & come to age 
in the same way that Harry Potter did.  I think the real key moment, 
to me, was when his ideas about Slytherins just being evil was 
shattered.  I didn't care for the one-liners & poorly developed sub-
plots & storylines in DH though.  Otherwise I loved almost everything 
about all 7 books with few reservations.
