Yeah, but Rowling doesn’t tell us what goes on behind those curtains in the boys’ dorm at night.
You da man, 'Gabe.
And the lad has an invisibility cloak and has not been to the women’s shower room…And in the latest book he has a potion that brings good luck and he doesn’t use it to get “lucky.”
You wouldn’t pull any of that crap either, if you knew that if you were found out, an angry girl might wave her wand and say “Macresco Microphallus!”
Unfortunately.
I’ve finally got a copy of the latest book and am fresh from all manner of dirty thoughts.
" Which has more calories, Harry Potter or dust?"
Of course Harry Potter’s gay! In fact, the whole series can been see as a “coming out” metaphor!
Evidence:
- where do we first meet Harry? Under the stairs. In the closet.
- The bland normality of the Muggle world (esp. the Dursleys) is contrasted with the “secret” society of extraordinary wizards - “You’re abnormal!” is the charge levelled at Harry by his Uncle
- Hogwarts robes are purple and violent (shades of lavender?)
- the wizarding world has its own language and customs (cf. polari) that Muggles just don’t see
- Before Harry’s acceptance into Hogwarts he’s preparing to attend Stonewall high school!
- As Harry matures his increased magical potency mirrors his sexual develpment - he learns to use his “wand” more effectively!
See - how obvious do you want it!
Fantastic article by Michael Bronski discusses it in much more depth…

I just love cake… I do… I just really love cake…
MAN I LUUUUURVE DE CAKE"
Considering the sort of bad-ass “micromastoi” counter-spell HP could cast, I’d be willing to bet even the most vengeful budding wizardess would think twice…
