The author has already outdone JKR by a mile.

I'm pretty sure that back in 2007 JKR's editors wouldn't have allowed an out and out gay character even if she'd tried.

A lot has changed in the last six years, honestly.

JKR's recent works do have gay characters (they're also much more racially diverse, which is a big plus).

I'm pretty sure her editors would have "let" the woman do anything she wanted.

lol. Yeah, I highly doubt it.

A book series written in 2007 and a book series written in 2013? LGBTQ narratives have become a lot more 'acceptable' to the common public over the last several years. For comparison within the same author, look at the original Percy Jackson series, which Riordan finished four years ago. Both Rowling and Riordan are putting lgbtq characters in their most recent works, but neither had them in their older ones.

(As a side note both Riordan and Rowling also sucked at racial diversity in their earlier works, but have gotten way better in their newer ones.)
