Michael gambon gay

The stars of the Harry Potter films have been giving their reaction to JK Rowling's revelation last month that the one of her characters, Hogwarts school headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is gay.

"I thought it was hilarious," said Daniel Radcliffe, who has played the lead role in all five Harry Potter films.

He said actor Michael Gambon, who has played Dumbledore since the third film, had been "really camping it up for the last three weeks ever since he found out".

Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay to a packed house in New York's Carnegie Hall as part of her US book tour in October.

Radcliffe told BBC News: "JK Rowling is an incredibly intelligent woman. She can't include thought for a moment that that would depart down well in the Bible Belt of America, but she put it brilliantly herself: 'He's my character - I can do what I wish with him.' Which I think is fair enough."
