Persephone Diggen - Other Things Dude pls stfu with your homophobic and racial comments literally it’s not cool and you just have to move on with yourself. In terms of Dumbledore being gay, I think you should know that J.K Rowling gladly hinted his sexuality in the seventh book when Rita Skeeter wrote in ‘The Life and Lies of Dumbledore’ that Dumbledore himself had lingering affection for Grindelwald. There also wasn’t anything mentioned about Dumbledore dating or being in a relationship with any woman. In terms of Hermione’s skin colour, I’m not that offended really. In the books Hermione wasn’t even mentioned white or black, so I find it ironic how people didn’t get angry when Emma Watson for playing Hermione white instead of someone playing Hermione black, but instead get angry at someone playing Hermione black instead of playing Hermione white 🤷♂️

Persephone Diggen - Other Things In the books Rita Skeeter *literally* rhetorically said Dumbledore had ‘lingering affection for the man’ - indicating Grindelwald. They had a close relationship as young adults, and DAYS after the seventh book was published, J.K Rowling said that Dumbledore was in love with Grindelwald and it makes perfect sense that he was. When Harry and Dumbledore were discussing Grindelwald not giving away Dumbledore’s graveyard position when Voldemort went to ask him where the Elder Wand was in the kings cross chapter, Dumbledore began to tear up and Harry asked Dumbledore if Grindelwald didn’t give away Dumbledore’s position for the sake of not letting anyone touch Dumbledore’s grave, which Dumbledore himself took into consideration. I think people are a little too arrogant regarding Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s relationship: They were close and in no shape or form was Dumbledore ever mentioned to have had a relationship with anybody else other then Grindelwald. What’s so bad about Dumbledore being gay? Because J.K Rowling could’ve ‘Said so earlier in the books’? You should take into account that J.K Rowling wrote this during the late 90’s when LGBTQ wasn’t greatly accepted. She was writing a children’s book in the late 90’s and it’s no mistake that parents would have rattled J.K Rowling along some major controversy if she were too explicitly reveal Dumbledore’s sexuality. She hinted his sexuality in the seventh book, and she confirmed it days after the seventh book’s publication - yet that’s still difficult for people to understand. Pretty pathetic in my opinion and as much as you may think you’re not being homophobic, YOU ARE being homophobic. I’m gay myself and I’m happy that Dumbledore’s gay, it offends me when a bunch of Potterheads say a lot of homophobic comments about the character but hide it behind their sceptical ‘facts’ they clearly don’t know.

Persephone Diggen - Other Things You’ve got it all wrong. Seems to me you need some more education on what it means to be gay. When you’re gay you’re sexually attracted to men, not woman - just a heads up seeming you did ignorantly mentioned that ‘Dumbledore had a crush to a woman when he was younger’ which I don’t recall JK Rowling saying or writing in all of the books history. In regards to Dumbledore and Grindelwald themselves, I don’t think they were romantically together in any shape or form. It seems that it was only one-sided thing on Dumbledore’s part; that Dumbledore loved Grindelwald and had deep feelings for him. And don’t even bother asking for proof of Dumbledore’s sexuality on JK Rowling’s terms; watch ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ which is a prequel to the Harry Potter series, taking form thousands and thousands of years before Harry Potter was born and following the story of Newt Scammander and young Dumbledore. There’s some canon proof in The Crimes of Grindelwald where young Dumbledore tells the Head of Magical Law Enforcement that he and Grindelwald were ‘CLOSER THEN BROTHERS’ if that doesn’t get you thinking that I don’t know what will. There’s also this other scene where Dumbledore looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees himself and Grindelwald as younger teenagers clasping hands together to form a blood pact - and please don’t even tell me that they were doing that as ‘fRieNds’ because there was some sexual tension in that scene when they literally sighed and closed their eyes. Alright I’m done arguing lmao

Just amazing! I am just remembering how I hated reading in elementary! lol then after my year in fifth grade was over the librarian gave me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to read over the summer. Of course I had no plan on reading anything at all! So one day I was sitting in my room, bored! Nothing to do during the summer. I saw the book and glanced at the first page. I thought to myself, "hmm...I'll just read the first page." So I began reading the fist page, then the second page and could no longer put it down. That was the first time that I realized that "hey, reading is not so bad, not boring at all" From there I began reading other books not just Harry Potter. Now I am 27 years old and I absolutely LOVE to read. I am now a teacher and I read to my students every day because I know that one day they too will fall in love with a book and discover that they LOVE to read. :D

Her reaction when she went back to visit her old flat where she wrote Philosopher's Stone really hit me hard. I can imagine how hard that time in her life must have been, and how much of a risk it was for her to take that year off to write. I bet she was wishing she could have gone back and told that struggling, desperate, unhappy JKR of the past to hang in there and keep persevering, because things were going to turn around so unbelievably for her. I'm so grateful that JKR, even without that knowledge, did find the courage and strength to persevere through the hardest time in her life and wrote those books.

A truly remarkable woman and I can't think of a single person I'd rather be filthy rich than her. She's had it rough, dealt with depression and will value her success more than most might. She brought a lot of magic into the world and that alone is priceless. I hope she'll be able to concentrate on writing what she wants to write in the future. Of course everything she writes will always be compared to Harry Potter but she's in a unique position to just write what she wants without having to worry about finances. It's impossible to tell how many children that learned to read or learned to love reading just because of her books. So many gifts to the world. Even though you can't put a price on all that it's nice to know that she can live comfortably from now on.

It's funny how she stayed the same. Many people who gain that much money will go in full luxury; a house staff, nanny's for the children and sun, sea and beach somewhere on their private island in the Caribbean. And Jo still makes her own cakes. Brilliant.

I must have cried 3 times during that documentary. On the sad parts yes, but also when they features the midnight premiere of Deathly Hallows and all the excited young readers getting the book after a long wait. I dont know why but it just moves me every time! (I watched this video multiple times, feeling nostalgic)

I remember seeing this years and years ago and when she walks into her old bedroom and sees the Harry Potter books on the shelf, the ones that she wrote in her darkest times, that brought her out of her misery and into an amazing life, bought by a total stranger, it completely broke me. Say what you want about her but she created this world for us. I know for a fact that I would be so very different without Harry Potter. So so different. And I think a lot of us would.

a very rainy day in early 2006 right after my sixth birthday. I was ill and asked my dad to read me, because his voice was very comforting. He walked me to the big book self in my sisters room and told me to pick whichever book caught my eye. Then i saw harry potter, and asked him to read me that book. I think he read almost the entire book in one sitting. it was just too exciting. I'm been hooked. Love you, Jo, because you've probably changed my life in more ways than i can count.

And once in a while there comes a video that leaves you speechless, so contented that you choose to feel happy despite everything. This video made every vein in my body to scream for me to live. Inspiration is a word which doesn't even come close when I look at her, admire doesn't suffice when I think about her. Gratitude wouldn't even bring out how it feels to have lived while she walked the earth too. Harry Potter is a lifetime, innumerable lifetimes. Always.

The sky starts to look less blue and grass less green. It is, looking back 11 years, almost surreal to me

I had lived in Edinburgh for 8 years and even gone to the same places as Jo: Balmoral hotel, Caledonial hotel, Leith, Favorita etc. I used to wait for my date in front of the Balmoral hotel and watch people get into black taxis... I wonder how many times I could have almost bumped into her but probably never did. Funny. I think she is very likeable and relatable because she seems so real. She's been through some bad times and good times, like the rest of us, but unlike celebrities, she doesn't detach herself from the past so much. For most celebrities, you only remember the fame and nothing else, nothing to relate to really. To connect with somebody you have to be able to be somewhat vulnerable. She does that. She's inspirational and seems so down-to-earth at the same time, a great combination.

The story of JK Rowling's life and everything she's been through is almost as magical as the Harry Potter books themselves. I may be taking issue with how she's handling all the recent stuff that's attached to the Harry Potter universe, but the love, devotion, thought, care and heart that went into those books was amazing. How it came about, from her getting the idea while riding a train and having to spend 4+ hours just thinking about it all becuase she didn't have anything to write with, to living in squalor on benefits while writing chapters in the cafe. It's all just amazing. The parallels between her own life story and Harry's is uncanny and beautiful. It's almost as though it was destiny for her to bring this world to us. And I will forever love and respect her for what she gave us. Even if she's on the verge of destroying her canon with these Fantastic Beasts movies and the ABOMINATION called The Cursed Child that should never have even existed. I love her. And I love her world more than anything. It means more to me than anyone can ever know. Her getting emotional at the end when she visited the apartment she wrote the first book in. That killed me. You can tell how much this has all meant to her. #HogwartsIsMyHome #JKisMyQueen #BookLoyalist #ProudSlytherin 🐍⚡

I feel she is such a genuine lady. Such charisma, knowledge and thoughtfulness. I didn't realise before but she really has such a graceful way of putting into words her feelings, reflections, thoughts and so forth. In a way so few people can. This talent undoubtedly made her an author of refined craftsmanship. Her words show such a depth of character. In my experience I can relate to her, i grew up in a poor neighborhood but my mother was from a wealthy family. Still we had a council house as my father was from a poor family and otherwise, he was the breadwinner as they say, and my mother a house wife. He passed away when I was only 11, for years I sort of just had to deal with all sorts of difficulties and trauma from bullying and abuse. As a grown man, I can look at those times and see that though they did have a huge impact on me, they never defined me. When I reached the age of adulthood, that is when I was able to start to chip away at everything that was not me. I was surprised that the more I chipped away, the more I felt that this person that I am is so much more simple and imperfect than I realised. Laying bare ourselves in such an open way, is such a rare and noble thing we can do. Speaking from this point of view and accepting I don't have all the answers, is incredibly refreshing and also quite frightening. We all like to think we have a handle on life, and it's within our control. But, on accepting that such views are folly really brings home the transient nature of things.

When I was nearing the last pages of Deathly Hallows, I stopped reading and got very emotional. I didn't want it to end. I was afraid to say goodbye to all the characters that had been part of my life. I was prepared to finish it the next day, but I couldn't sleep so I sat back down and finish it and said my goodbyes to Hogwarts and everyone.

I goes to show that one person in your life will maybe change the whole course of that life if they just believed in you. That's the sad reality with most artists; finding someone to believe in you enough to put you over the top and being able to do your passion for the rest of your life. So many people pass people up because they think they can do it better or get that same thing somewhere else and it's just not right. Everyone deserves a chance and if you have the means to put an artist in touch with people that will help them, then do it!
