>J.K Rowling confirms Dumbledore and Grindelwald were in a 'passionate' and 'intense' relationship that had a 'sexual dimension'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6815019/J-K-Rowling-confirms-Dumbledore-Grindelwald-passionate-sexual-relationship.html

What are the implications of this for the plot of the Harry Potter epic saga? Do you think Dumbledore saw in Harry something that reminded him of his old flame? So do you think Dumbledore was the catcher or the pitcher? This also brings me back to a passage from one of based Evola's works (quoted below); I wonder to what extent J.K. Rowling purposely encoded metaphysical symbolism concerning higher states in Harry Potter, brimming as they are with esoteric and occult knowledge; may we perhaps speculate about Dumbledore "initiating" young Harry in the cloisters of the Headmaster's Office?

>There is a whole ritual related to anal penetration through the narrow door that opens on the labyrinth (in the man, the intestine). In Tantric Yoga, the center of Ganesha, the guardian of the gates, is in the region of the rectum. The male organ, if it penetrates directly into the zone of the coiled energy (Kundalini), can allow to awaken it brutally and to cause states of illumination and sudden perception of transcendent realities. This is why this act can play an important role in initiation. "This explains a rite of male initiation, widespread among primitive peoples, though rarely reported by Western observers ..., in which adult male insiders have sex in the anus with novices ... The custom of this kind can be very much at the basis of the homosexual eroticism encouraged so strongly by the Greeks in the classical period. This act is one of the accusations made against the Dionysian organizations by their detractors, and against certain initiatory groups in the Christian and Islamic world

She got addicted to being a progressive poster girl. But obviously in recent years the qualifications for that became more strict. Just having wide range of believable characters of both sexes from all strives of life isn't enough anymore. Your entire cast needs to be freaks and obscure identities now if you want to get any brownie points.

She tried to write new stories, but they all sucked and nobody wanted to read them. So she decided to retcon the shit out of her magnum opus instead.

Well I think it is struggle in general that creates interesting stories. People trying to get over something hard. That's when people figure out new insights or get new perspectives. When they rebuild their character to deal with the new reality. Or maybe they fail and they lose the struggle.

It doesn't have to be financial trouble in particular, though that's obviously a strong motivating factor for change. In this particular case I think she became a rich boring old lady who sits in her mansion all day long and reads social media.

actually there's a very high correlation between being rich and having nothing to say, even for those much more cultivated than Rowling. Artists have to be keenly aware of their own and others' suffering, being well off tends to obviate that.

HP isn't really a children's series at all. Its popularity plays on JK setting up an innocent and playful world to defile. The fandom revolves around the perverse enjoyment of seeing this whimsical world be subjected to grotesque tortures. Like poor Neville: he started out as the fat comic relief character - the twist is that his parents were literally tortured into dementia, which is a burden that has destroyed his life. That's what they mean when they say HP is "nuanced" or "morally complex": it's an arena where moral innocence is produced in order to be destroyed for the audience's enjoyment

I accept the "she was using a form of coded communication, known to her through her reading of Golden Age British detective fiction, to convey dumbledore's sexuality to readers who would recognize the signs" explanation. But the real issue is that she was using code at all and not just explicitly stating it.

Not really said anywhere in the books. We don't know anything about Snape's sex life either. I guess he must be a furry or a pedophile since you are allowed to insert anything you want in a hole in characterization and claim it was there all along.

The gay dumbledore wasn't the only virtue signaling retcon either. Hermione is apparently not white despite evidence to the contrary in writing and concept art.
