J.K. Rowling is feeling the backlash on Twitter from Harry Potter fans who believed she had revealed the sexuality of a popular Harry Potter character.

One Harry Potter fan tweeted Rowling asking a series of questions, one of which included inquiring if fan favorite character Sirius Black was gay.

@jk_rowling 4) “Will Robin actually marry Matthew?”
5. “Is Sirius Black gay?”
6. “Are you sure he’s not gay?”
7. “Are you REALLY sure?”

2/2

Rowling changed her Twitter biography in what appeared to be answers to the questions and seemed to confirm that Black was a heterosexual character.

Some fans were disappointed to learn Black wasn’t an LGBT character and the trending hashtag #JKRowlingIsOverParty began. Although Rowling has said Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore was a gay character, some fans were still looking for more acknowledged representation in the series.

jk rowling says she supports lgbt which is great but would it kill her to make a character lgbt and actually acknowledge that in her books

remember that time when JK Rowling represented & supported our community and made LGBT+ youth everywhere feel empowered? me neither

Others didn’t see an issue with Rowling not confirming Black as a gay character and used the hashtag to address the upset fans.

So people are really trippin out over the sexuality of a fictional character? Someone that isn’t even real? ? #JKRowlingIsOverParty

#JKRowlingIsOverParty If you’re not liking the fact that Sirius is straight, wait until you find out he’s not even real…

According to Rowling, she never revealed any information about Black’s sexuality and the answers in her Twitter biography were not responding to inquiries if Black is gay. Rowling also referred to some tweets about the situation as “a ton of abuse.”

@Danbo12 There was no news, none at all, just leaping to mistaken conclusions and a ton of abuse.

@hoImesnwatson No, the last three ‘answers’ in my bio refer to the person who has dominated my notifications for the past 5 days.

Rowling wrapped up the party by thanking fans for their support and love. 

I’d just like to say, because it would be downright rude not to, THANK YOU for the huge number of wonderful messages I’ve been sent tonight.

Twitter’s a strange place at times, but for every bit of hate I’ve received I’ve always had so much more love and support. Obrigada a todos!
