There is some revealing information about the backstory behind the Hogwarts characters you may know fairly well available for readers who click here. But is this considered canon? In other words, can we accept her statements if they never appear in the books? Many schools of literary criticism maintain that only until the book is published can the author have any control over his or her text; after that it's in the mind of the reader that truth can be made. What do you think?
Let me know if you want by commenting on this post, please, for some bonus points.
Thanks to the Leaky Cauldron!

In this website, you can see a lot of funny comics.
In fact, I think Harry Potter is a book which is full of imaginative powers. Readers can create their own image not just follow the author’s text. Because cultivating how to think independently is more important than memorize the plot of the story. So I do not think that the truth should be made after the author control over his/ her text. Readers can made up by themselves as well.
I think its true that only until the book is published can the author have any control over his or her text and after that its ofcourse in the mind of the reader that truth can be made. Different people have differnent ideas and ways of thinking. People imagine things differently and it's just the writer, who's creative and got new and vague ideas that people can't think of. If the author, J.K Rowlings said that Dumbledore is gay means he is gay, as it is the author is not writing any real life story, her book, Harry Potter is an imaginative ones and so she can imagine Dumbledore as a gay. There's nothing so surprising about that.
