Saturday Night Live mocks recent Dumbledore revelation
Saturday Night Live mocks recent Dumbledore revelation On last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, there were two big mentions of Albus Dumbledore's recent sexuality revelation. The first came during the weekly bit called "Weekend Update." One anchor reported the revelation, followed by the punchline "Even worse, he now has Hog Warts."

The second came in a segment where JK Rowling is being interviewed about Dumbledore on CNN's Larry King Live. She tells Larry that several scenes were cut from the movie which gave away his sexuality. Each of the scenes were then played, focusing around Dumbledore telling McGonagall about his man love problems.

UPDATE: Clip #1 from the Weekend Update segment | Clip #2 from the Larry King segment

Those scenes with Dumbledore and McGonnogal are hilarious. Jerry sent Dumbledore a drunk owl, and it was a booty owl. lol

I loved the skits! I am tired of people making such a big deal out of this whole thing but SNL doing a skit on it doesn't bother me at all since they will make fun of anything or anyone, even celebrities who have hosted the show or are going to host the show. When it comes to SNL, people have to remember to not take it seriously. SNL Rocks! But I do wish that everyone else would stop fussing over this. I was at Carnegie Hall when she announced it and I was jumping up and cheering with everyone else when she announced it. Everyone was shocked but our cheering just showed we were in the opinion that it didn't matter one bit, and I think EVERYONE should look at it that way. His sexuality was never mentioned in the book at all. Dumbledore is Dumbledore and that will never change in the books. Period.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Nov 5th 2007

I thought they we're absouletly hilarious. I mean it was all in good fun, and HP is widely popular. So it's nothing to get upset about.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Nov 5th 2007

Yes the fact doesn't change how i see Dumbledore either. DD is still the wise old powerful wizard, who has obsessions with mugglethings, and uses quirky words.


Posted by I_Love_Muggles Nov 5th 2007

That wasn't really JK Rowling, was it? I am kind of asleep right now. . . .


Posted by gerhaldt Nov 5th 2007

anyone who didn't see stuff like this coming is an idiot. you all act like this is the first time the media or television has done this

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?
