Harry Potter Just Keeps Getting Gayer
 
 

Way before Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made its way into theaters, The Soup was among those who noticed just how gay things were getting in J.K. Rowling's children's stories. And we're not just talking about Dumbledore!

But now that things are winding down in these movie fairytales, the homo factor only seems to be rising, notes Gawker: "Ron [Weasley] adores Harry, naturally. Ron's always been uneasy around girls and it was chalked up to the fact that he's clumsy goof. But in the sixth installment, Ron has become a bit of a strapping butch boy and he starts to get noticed by the girls. He plays along but really only lights up when he is around Harry. His supposed crush on Hermione is as lustful as nursing home bingo game. But when Harry's in the room, Rupert Grint, who plays Ron, blushes, grins, his shoulders roll back and hips sway forward when he talks to Harry. Daniel Radcliffe who has always played Harry a little fey, undulates and titters around Ron. At a quidditch tryout Ron needs to impress Harry in order to make the team. Harry's eyes stayed locked on Ron as he straddles a broom. When Ron succeeds in blocking a score from the opposing team, Ron leans back on his broom, clutches the broom at its base and points it in Harry's direction. Harry beams. It is a giant phallic broomstick in between his legs! C'mon people!"

Plenty of you have probably seen the movie by now, so please, weigh in: With Potter & Co. sprinting their way through puberty and into the land of hormones, just how gay is this fantasy world getting? Even though definitive online sources insist Ron Weasley isn't family, what say you?

Sweet :)
Don't we all just love the way Harry gets on with Ron?

Let's hope Ron doesn't do Harry with the broomstick! Naw.

Wow, this is pretty old actually. I HEART E!'s The Soup with Joel McHale though and they had a recent Harry Potter spoof mixed with The Real World that was almost as funny as this one.

Pretty thin stuff — I preferred the bit that was done with clips from 'Fast and the Furious,' with Vin Diesel and the cute blond guy (sorry, Google finger broken) as jealous lovers.

I expect to hear nothing less from some queer who has never read the books. The movies never came close to covering the story between Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny. The Love between Ron and Hermione and well as the love between Harry and Ginny is very strong I don't believe for a second JK Rowling ment for them to be gay but then I notice a lot of gay people who want to believe everyone is gay and try to wreck such an awesome series of books.

Hogwarts is quite gay, but I just don't see it between Harry and Ron.

Now, when it comes to Harry and Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, Harry's dad and Sirius Black … basically anyone and Sirius Black, that's practically canon.

@damon459:

Jeez, lighten up. Have you seen "Brokeback Saved by the Bell?" It's just someone having some fun.

They are an awesome set of books to you. What's wrecked? They're still the same books they were yesterday.

Is it me, or does the narrator sound oddly like Jack Black?

Didn't read any of the books – and only saw one movie (the first, I think). But J R didn't do anything as obvious as J R R as in Tolkien – who gave one of his male characters the nickname of Mary er Merry and only married him off when Americans insisted on it.

Unless they're making out with each other, it's not gay.

This is dumb. If you were to read the books, you'd understand how dumb this is.
