‘Harry Potter’ Fans Brilliantly Troll J.K. Rowling Over Character Gay Relationship

Remember when Harry Potter was innocent fun for kids of all ages? For more than a decade, J.K. Rowling’s “Wizarding World” was full of fantasy, action, magic, and a little left for the imagination.

Well, ratings aren’t what they used to be for the Fantastic Beasts prequels, so J.K. needs to spruce things up a bit. Only when she admitted in the Blu-Ray commentary on The Crimes of Grindelwald that was just released that “there is a sexual dimension to this relationship,” she wishes she was just “j/k” because those innocent fans grew up to be some potent trolls.

“Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate, and it was a love relationship,” she said in the Blu-ray commentary via the Radio Times. “But as happens in any relationship, gay or straight or whatever label we want to put on it, one never knows really what the other person is feeling. You can’t know, you can believe you know.”

Yes, that opaque commentary about two beloved characters in the franchise getting freaky between the wizardly sheets didn’t go over too well with loyal fans and hell-bent staunch brand protectors alike. And now, the chaos that ensued.

NOTE: If you’re not down with all things Potter, there’s so much jargon in here, you may need a glossary. After you look stuff up, you’ll find this is bed-wetting hilarity.
