Part of the problem is that no matter how you slice it, Dumbledore's sexuality is just token gay retrofitted by Word of God into narrative that never bothered to ask about LGBT people at Hogwarts until the movies were well into production. In fact, the issue only came up when movie producers tried to give Dumbledore a girlfriend. When you have only one visible example of a minority in your entire universe, they're a lot harder to write well.

I had my own Grindelwald, and one thing I've noticed is that I'm a bit more bitter in talking about that than I am in talking about friendships that failed where I was not in love. So that's a feature than can inform the script. Confronting him on his behavior (that eventually landed him in jail) was horribly difficult, so was negotiating his attempts at reconciliation.

I'm not really expecting much because I thought the first movie was only superficially interested in its historic setting. I might spend release week reading Broken Time Blues instead.

I agree with basically everything that you said just now. Figured I'd let you know :D

And yeah, the first movie was much more interested in going "Ooh, look people, we're introducing America into your Harry Potter! Isn't that exiting? Especially for you Americans, surely you love this, yes?" than anything else. So I'm not expecting all that much from the rest of this either. I basically just want to see them for the sake of seeing more Harry Potter world and so that I'll know what's going on when the fanfics start introducing new things like Obscurials into the parts of it that I'm reading (such as Harry Having Father Figures, or Being Independent, or other such entertaining things).
