<b>Time Network News</b> At that time, when J· K. Rowling released the news that the Harry Potter series caused numerous controversies when Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts was gay. Some praised the setting, while others saw it as an afterthought. They thought the books were all written, and it was okay to say that the headmaster was gay, but if Rowling had incorporated this into the text when she was writing the book.
Playing the headmaster in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald is Jude Lowe, and since fans know that he once had a relationship with the fascist Dark Wizard played by Johnny Depp, many people thought that the film would explore this further. However, director David Yates has previously explained that the Fantastic Beasts series doesn't make the headmaster "extraordinarily" gay.
This sparked a movement among fans to ask Yates and Warner to "make Dumbledore a gay," a proposal that was not accepted by Warner, but perhaps inspired by Rowling's slightly relieved remarks about their relationship. In an interview on the Blu-ray disc released on Fantastic Beasts 2, Rowling said, "The relationship between them is very warm, passionate, and loving. As happens in any relationship, no matter what the straight bend or what label is attached, one of them never knows what the other really thinks.
You think you know, but you don't actually know. I'm less interested in the neutral aspect of their relationship, but I believe that there is a presence in their relationship, and I'm more interested in the emotions they have for each other, which is ultimately the most interesting thing about all human relationships. ”
The young version of the duo is played by Toby Rigbo and Jamie Campbell Ball
Again, as I said earlier, you can talk about the feelings between the two characters, but if you really want the audience to accept it, you can't just put out a few words on social networks and interviews, but let the characteristics of these characters really integrate into the work. Maybe Warner is out of international box office considerations, thinking that if you put open and clear gay relationships into this kind of film, it will have a negative impact, but "Dumbledore is gay" if only lip service, really limited influence.
Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald ($200 million budget, $653 million worldwide, data from IMDb) and word-of-mouth are not ideal, it is better to be bold.
