Why wasn't it specifically said he was gay in the books? It's primarily a childrens book ffs, she doesn't go beyond mild kissing and parent/child relationships. If she goes into a character being gay, then the parent reading the book to a child has to stop and explain what 'gay' means. The parent may not be ready to tell the child about that kinda stuff, and she doesn't mention hetrosexual relationships much either.
And then the whole argument that Harry Potter has borrowed ideas from other authors so it's ok to copy/paste anything you want from Harry Potter?
There's a difference between being inspired by something and copy/paste.
JK Rowling writes stuff like this for charity so I don't have much sympathy with the internet guy leeching off her work. The authors should have asked permission to publish this book first.
I wonder how much of this book is copy/paste and how much origonal work?
And as much as I love Rincewind and the Night Watch, I had to stop reading Discworld books because the exact same characters repeat too often, exept they turn up with different names. There's always a cowardly guy, and a bossy woman and the wise elder... meh. | fanboi
