Another
interview from the
Order of the Phoenix DVD Launch/Press Junket has emerged in which Dan Radcliffe, David Yates & Evanna Lynch, among others, discuss the revelation about Dumbledore's sexuality.
Quote:
Radcliffe told BBC News: "JK Rowling is an incredibly intelligent woman. She can't have thought for a moment that that would go down well in the Bible Belt of America, but she put it brilliantly herself: 'He's my character - I can do what I want with him.' Which I think is fair enough."
David Yates and David Barron insisted that the news will not alter Michael Gambon's onscreen interpretation of the character. Yates revealed that Jo told him in September when at a
Half-Blood Prince read-through.
Quote:
"Jo leaned over to me and said: 'You know Dumbledore's gay don't you, David?' And I thought 'Wow that's pretty cool'."
Evanna mused on the notion of Dumbledore and Luna as a couple.
Quote:
Evanna Lynch, who plays the part of eccentric student Luna Lovegood, said she had always thought that a younger Dumbledore would have made an ideal partner for Luna.
"If only Dumbledore was a 100 years younger they would be perfect, and I put that to JK Rowling," she said.
"But as we know now, that's never going to happen."
Order of the Phoenix is released today on DVD in the U.K.
