Prepare for some hand-wringing from one corner and some hand-clapping from another... sigh.

I think that this makes Rowling's world more realistic, and I'll leave it at that.

Rowling said Dumbledore fell in love with the charming wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark arts than good, Dumbledore was "terribly let down" and went on to destroy his rival.

That love, she said, was Dumbledore's "great tragedy".
