It says romance(s): Gellert Grindlewand. But. Isnt Dumbledore not gay? it never says anywhere in the book that he is. Im just confused on hus sexuality. ~2026-19693-86 (talk) 18:14, 29 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Semi protected edit request: BLP - remove unsupported claim that Harris called McKellen "dreadful"
However, the citation does not support this quote. The citation is an interview of McKellen who was paraphrasing Harris. It does not support the claim that Harris called him "dreadful".
The correct quote appears to be of him saying McKellen was "technically brilliant, but passionless". Here are some articles that support this corrected quote.
Requesting to remove/replace "Harris called him 'dreadful'", as the citation does not support it. It's BLP because McKellen is alive, so high importance. HL555 (talk) 03:15, 9 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I'm pretty sure he played Grindelwald not Dumbledore. Heart (talk) 04:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
