I would not be surprised if Dominique’s understanding of sex until Roarke came along was that you used it as a bargaining chip, so she would be choosy but not celibate, and would give it out if she wanted a favor or just got horny.
Oh just realized this one: most of the characters in harry potter are virgins. Dumbledore is gay and prefers kids, so of course he never had sex. Hagrid’s not a giant, not a human, so his pool of mates that would “fit” would probably be counted on one hand. Argus Filch keeps pussy near him at all times, but likely he’s a virgin too. The teachers aren’t shown to be married. Snape has been jerking it to a dead woman for decades.
If you count Tehanu {shudder}, it’s stated that male wizards magic themselves celibate in return for their power because feminism.
Gay, yes, but not a virgin; he certainly had an affair with Grindelwald and they would have been teens or young adults (snake lady referred to them as boys). Where did you get the pedophile part?!?:eek: Yuck!
On the other hand, his parents somehow managed to “fit”. If they had a chance, then surely Hagrid does too.
Dad was human, Mom was giant. Hagrid is a boy near-giant. There are logistical issues.
Go ask your Mother.
Hagrid dated the French teacher from their wizardry school. And it seems by the way he acts that, while very uncommon and rare, he has dated before.
So Hagrid could get it on with a full-blooded giantess. If it worked for his dad, why wouldn’t it work for him?
What? Since when does Dumbledore prefer kids? WTF? And no, I don’t think he necessarily had an affair with Grindelwald, since I believe Rowling said Grindelwald didn’t feel the same way, but he did use Dumbledore’s feelings to manipulate him.
And once again, McGonagall was married, and Remus Lupin married Tonks. Sirius strikes me as being a ladies man. Hagrid later had a relationship with Madame Maxime.
Wormtail, however, I’d be willing to bet was a virgin. I doubt he was all that popular with women, and then he spent a good chunk of his life as a rat. (Unless, of course, he was boinking female rats)
I do agree about Snape.
There was no affair with grindelwald, they hardly met in person. Most of their “romance” was by mail. Dream dumbledore pretty much admitted he had a crush on Harry. I don’t believe hagrid’s parents actually had “sex.” Think about it: a human’s ejaculate would have to travel something like half a football field to get anywhere near a giantess’ eggs. Also, assuming the eggs are giant sized, normal human sperm would have to penetrate the equivalent of a basketball. I’m certain magic played a part in it, or at bare minimum scuba gear.
Where is the reference that McGonagall is married?
Alice. She finally is married to Sam in one of the reunion specials, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she was a virgin on her wedding night.
Speaking of domestics, Rose, on Upstairs, Downstairs. She finally has a boyfriend who wants to marry her by, like, the third series but he dies. Whether she actually lost her virginity is up in the air, but I like to think she did-- she was around 40.
I don’t think she had sexual feelings at all until she saw Roark at the quarry. But yes, she used sex as a bargaining chip, but not at all for her own pleasure.
And Roark had his way with a few ladies, but found the encounters rather empty.
But Galt? If he was modeled after Frank O’Connor, I don’t think Rand could conceive of O’Connor being a virgin. Supposedly, she knew intimate details of his own sexual history, and would have applied them to Galt, if the story demanded it.
But of course we do know that he masturbated. And smoked afterward.
Most HP Lovecraft protagonists
Is any of this from The Source Herself? (Why don’t you start an “ASK A MEMBER OF THE COLLECTIVE?” thread???)
Um, where?
Post 70. Rowling posted her biography on Pottermore. You have to have an account to access the site, so I linked to the Harry Potter wiki, which has the info there:
(Elphinstone being a man she knew earlier) This was posted at Pottermore. Rowling said it, I believe it, that settles it. Period.
You’re the one who has yet to post any proof that Dumbledore’s a pedo.
Oh, and Neville also becomes a teacher later at Hogwarts and HE marries Hannah Abbott. She manages the Leaky Cauldron and they live in the apartment above it.
Superhal, I went back and read the conversation at King’s Cross – no where did Dumbledore give any indication he had any sort of inappropriate feelings towards Harry. I would say he looked on Harry as more of like the grandson he never had. You’re seriously reaching.
