@ everyone who ever said "well Harry wouldn't have known"

you know who would have found the fuck out?

RITA SKEETER

THE WOMAN WHO WROTE A GODDAMN EXPOSÉ AND WOULD HAVE SOLD HER ACTUAL SOUL AND ALSO SOMEONE ELSE'S FOR SOMETHING AS JUICY AS 'EX-BOYFRIEND OF WIZARD HITLER' FOR HER BOOK

it makes the story worse and Rita's character less consistent for the books NOT to have made the reveal explicit. it makes DH's look at themes about love less substantive too

anyway I don't care about the movies at all just venting

I feel this comment.

When you put it that way, I can see how Dumbledore would have made an intense effort to keep that old relationship under wraps.

I thought before it was just habitual reticence plus a teacher of a boarding school not wanting to be painted with the "B-but aren't homosexuals only half a step from paedophiles he might be grooming/recruiting our children no offense it's just that parents are *concerned*" brush.

But wariness around Rita Skeeter makes perfect sense.

That he would be reticent does not mean that it would be impossible to bring up, especially in the sixth and seventh books.

The pensieve flashback with Dumbledore and Grimwald was so heavy in subtext that I felt it was?

I mean, I read it and immediately thought, Oh, Dumbledore was hopelessly in love with that prick - and I don't habitually wear slash-goggles.

Yeah, I'm hopelessly obtuse about these things but even I had that sense that Albus loved Grindelwald months before JK actually said "Hey btw Dumbledore is gay." It was just an odd little "Holy crap I was RIGHT!" moment when she did.
