What I find disgusting is that there are people in our world who would refuse to read a Harry Potter book, if they had known one character in the book was homosexual.

What's even more ridiculous about your homophobia, is the fact he's a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. Plus no homosexual acts even take place.

Pathetic how narrow minded some people are.
Ok fine, if you're straight and you're put off by a gay musical containing gay men, or a story all about a gay man...then that's your choosing.
One single fictional character who doesn't display his sexuality, nor talk about it, nor does it affect the plot...affecting what you think of the book?

That's just plain ignorance.
