So far, in the GalleyCat poll on Dumbledore's sexuality, "didn't see that one coming" is just barely ahead of "oh, honey, they're all gay," but there's still a day left to vote, so who knows how it'll finally turn out. In the meantime, graphic novelist Colleen Doran has one of the best delayed reactions to the news I've seen yet: "It just occurred to me... what bigger cliché is there than a gay British headmaster?"

Although I also like the Onion's handling of the news: "Wow. I haven't heard that. I've been really busy lately not caring about the sexual preferences of fictional people."
