I didn't want to put "They're just joking around" in the title. "SECRET GAY CHARACTER" should have let you know it was a joke

So JK Rowling comes out to say that Dumbledore is gay a a couple years after the release of Deathly Hallows and Stephanie does the same with one of her minor characters a couple years after the release of Breaking Dawn. Stephanie can you PLEASE be creative for once and think of your own stuff?

What do you mean a couple years after the release? The article says "It involved her time filming the wedding scene".
Unless you fault her for waiting to tell the story.

I really doubt Stephenie was sitting there thinking "Hmm... JK Rowling has a gay character, I should make one too, and then I'll wait two years (nine months) to talk about it." then turned to her producer and said "Hey, wanna be gay so I can be like JK Rowling?"

Good grief! Just because HP fans lives revolve around HP, doesn't mean everyone else's does also. As if Meyers has nothing better to do than follow what JK does and then set out to copy her at every turn. What are you going to accuse her of next? She speaks English! JK spoke English before Meyer, Meyer must be copying her! Stephanie can you PLEASE be creative for once and think of your own stuff? That's right invent your own language! JK invented English first, just as she was the first one to ever make up a gay character, just as she invented the name Black, and vampires, and the name Harry Potter, and...you know what lets just include everything. JK obviously invented everything.

Yeah! I agree with you guys. I just posted this because of the anti gay church question posted today. I wasn't expecting THAT kind of reply

I take offense to what you said cunha, since I only said how the title is misleading.. Gee twifans, sensitive much?
and omgstop this link is NOT helping your case. Doesn't matter if smeyer support gay or not. You were only adding more unclear rumor to fuel the oh so unimportant debate...

I had no issues with what you said lukita, I too kind of expected something a bit more substantial than an anecdote and was a bit disappointed. It's the whole Myers copied this, that, and everything else that ticked me off. I like JK but enough already, she wrote a good book, not the bible.

Even though i was disapointed, it was good that this article was added. The anti gay accusation was untrue and needed to be shown as such.

@cassie-1-2-3 I mean the release of Breaking Dawn the book

@cunha27 My life doesn't revolve around Harry Potter. Like when everyone says "OMG Smeyer copied Rowling because the Jacob's a werewolf and his last name is black" I always say that it can just be a coincidence. I don't think she wrote the bible either, LOL. In my opinion, I felt as if Smeyer was copying Rowling. I mean, even the way they fell in love was similar. One of the officers had a life long romance with Charlie when Dumbledore had the same with Grindlewald. If the officer was already openly gay or there was a different situation then I'd be over it.

@omg-stop The linked helped. That anti gay thing sounded very sketchy (even though I was pissed about it first).


Sorry to offend you guys :/

The random movie extra played by the producer didn't exist in the book.
Dumbledore did.

There's your big difference.

The extra was married, Dumbledore wasn't. There was no mention of lifelong romance between the extra and Charlie, only that the extra was in love with Charlie. For all we know he fell in love with Charlie 1 month before Bella's wedding. Charlie probably wasn't even aware of the officer's feelings. Charlie was married and had a daughter, Grindelwald didn't. Grindewald encouraged Dumbledore's feelings, I doubt Charlie would have done the same since he was heterosexual. Nowhere in the article did it mention "the way they fell in love". So I fail to see how similarities could be drawn from them.

I may have overreacted with whole life revolving around HP comment and gone off on a bit of a rant, but this just happens to be one of my pet peeves. JK is a good writer, and her story is great, but a lot of concepts and ideas in her books have existed and been used in many other books before hers.  Constant accusations of Stephanie copied this and that from JK (specially in relation to commom occurrences) imo, is a telling example of someone who hasn't done much reading, for surely if they'd had, they'd have known what was an original idea from JK and what was a more common idea shared by Meyer, JK and other writers. 

Eg. There are many more  coincidental similarities between Harry Potter and The Labyrinth (link) than Twilight and Harry Potter, yet no one is telling JK to "...PLEASE be creative for once and think of your own stuff"
