JK Rowlingâs âHarry Potterâ latest spinoff film released its title and release date.
The film will be called âFantastic Beasts 3: The Secrets of Dumbledoreâ.
Based on the life of one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter franchise, Dumbledore, the filmâs title has raked a unique reaction from internet users. Many joked that the film will show Dumbeldore as gay and the film will reveal the secret of his sexuality.
There was then an onslaught of gay jokes and rumours about the titular wizard and Hogwarts headmaster. The topic for this speculation is rooted in JK Rowlingâs previous statements that some say she made to sound âwokeâ. Weeks after the announcement of her Harry Potter book in 2007, the author had said that Dumbledore was gay, despite the books themselves offering no clues as to the wizardâs sexuality. Furthermore, she suggested that Dumbledore once had a homosexual relationship with Gellert Grindlewald, who features in the âFantastic Beastsâ movies. However, none of the films have mentioned this either.
JK Rowling was criticised for inserting a âwokeâ subtext to her stories when in fact they had no such mention in the books. She had also said that there was at least one Jewish wizard at Hogwarts and that Hermoine may have been black despite the author describing her as a white girl in her books.

The Harry Potter author is now not in good books of the trans community too after she opposed gender-neutral languages arguing that it âerasesâ the concept of sex and thus womanhood. She has, since then, got death threats from some trans activists and faced backlash on the internet by many of her fans.
Meanwhile, the new spinoff film âFantastic Beasts 3: The Secrets of Dumbledoreâ will release on April 15, 2022. The franchise of films has been adapted from a guidebook on the magical creatures of Harry Potterâs world. This was released in 2001 and served as prequels to the main Harry Potter story.
