Author J.K. Rowling isn’t stopping after “Fantastic Beasts.” Now, she’s writing her own fan fiction too. According to Rowling, “Harry Potter” character Albus Dumbledore and “Fantastic Beasts” villain* Gellert Grindelwald had a passionate love affair of an explicitly* sexual nature.

Her comments came about in a feature included in the DVD and Blu-ray versions of “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.” “Their relationship was incredibly intense. It was passionate, and it was a love relationship,” Rowling said. “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.”

Rowling previously revealed that Dumbledore is homosexual*, despite the fact it is not mentioned in the Harry Potter books or films.

The author is facing criticism for her often delayed comments on her characters’ private lives, which are viewed as efforts to pander* to a queer* audience without manifesting* those relationships on mainstream material, such as in the books or films.

Johnny Depp stars as Grindelwald in the 2018 fantasy film “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.”
