Harry Potter: 10 Characters Fans Wanted to Be LGBT

While the Harry Potter series does have two canon LGBT characters, many fans have felt like other characters would have been better choices for representation. While Dumbledore and Grindlewald were gay, this wasn’t actually revealed in the books themselves. Also, many people felt that the way their bond was handled wasn’t that positive and that having other examples of LGBT representation was necessary. While this didn’t happen, many fans have enjoyed shipping certain couples together and creating headcanons in fandom that certain characters were queer.

Here are ten characters that fans wanted to be LGBT from the Harry Potter series.

10. GINNY WEASLEY

Ginny Weasley is a rather fierce character who doesn’t get all that much time in the books. While she isn’t a main character, many fans liked her strong personality and confidence after she grew into herself. While Ginny ends up with Harry, a lot of fans felt like she would possess made a great bisexual ethics. She’s a person who seems very secure in herself and what she thinks, and she also seemed open to virtual dating multiple peopl

J.K. Rowling has confirmed that some of the characters in the "Harry Potter" universe are same-sex attracted. Some fans, however, are perturbed that these characters don't actually identify as gay in the books or movies. 

In a special features interview for the "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" BluRay release, Rowling confirmed a partnership between characters Dumbledore and Grindelwald. "Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate, and it was a treasure relationship," Rowling said. The Twitter account "The Rowling Library" transcribed this section of the interview. 

"But as happens in any relationship, lgbtq+ or straight or whatever label we want to position on it, one never knows really what the other person is feeling. You can't perceive, you can trust you know," Rowling continued. "So I'm less interested in the sexual side – though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this partnership – than I am in the sense of the emotions they felt for each other, which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationship."

Rowling previously revealed Dumbledore was gay and even responded to a fan who tweeted they couldn't "see" the headmast

Five “Harry Potter” Characters I Read as LGBTQ

There are lots of LGBTQ readings of Harry Potter out there, and some of the popular ones involve Drarry (Draco and Harry), Sirius Black as bi, and Charlie Weasley as asexual. Of course, everyone has their own ships and headcanons, and there is no shortage of remarkable fan art depicting them. Here are a couple of the characters that I read as LGBTQ, and I attempt to base my interpretations as much as doable on cues from the text.

 

1. Colin Creevey

Colin Creevey is overenthusiastic about everything, but his obsession with Harry seems like an obvious 11-year-old crush to me. Memorizing his schedule, taking pictures of him, trying to bring him grapes in the hospital wing – how else does a middle schooler know how to demonstrate his affection? Later on, Colin seems to relaxed down a bit and shows a more mellow admiration of Harry, and I imagine that by then he has moved on to other crushes and relationships.

 

 

 

2. Marietta Edgecombe

Why does Marietta come with Cho to DA lessons even though she clearly doesn’t want to be there? Why does she tell on the DA after six months of attendi
