JK Rowling really needs to stop adding context to her character. As the author continues to make money out of her Harry Potter-based books and movies, she has also been saying things that are angering Harry Potter fans. As if the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies weren't enough for that! Sometime back, she had mentioned how she regretted making Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger a pair. Now her latest statement about Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald is causing much uproar in the wizarding community.

Now in the special features for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Blu-ray, Rowling added another new angle to this relationship. She now claims that there was a 'sexual dimension' in Dumbledore-Grindelwald affair. She said, “Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate, and it was a love relationship. 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. So I’m less interested in the sexual side – though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this relationship." Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald: Who is Aurelius Dumbledore?
