Harry Potter Complete Boxed Set - J.K. Rowling $121

Oh, books! thumb down. Reason - Many of these earlier editions, even later ones are floating around used book stores in great condition. Even the paperback sets are around new (sometimes) for a lot cheaper. This seems a high price.

In this edition, Dumbeldore admits he is gay

I can't believe people were so upset that J.K. chose to make him gay, like it makes any difference .

You don't find that out in ANY of the books. I mean..the signs are there though..that he always used to hang out with this best friend he had when he was young..and he's so old that he doesn't have a wife. I put it past me that he was just Too wise and powerful or something to have a girlfriend/wife. etc. I never even paid attention to it until I read that article one day in Summer about it.

then I went.. "ohhhhhhhhh..." Because it made sense. I'm not angry about it per say...I just think she should have never mentioned it because it kind of puts Dumbledore in bad lighting. I mean..he's a fictional character that many people who read the books have come to respect with everything he has done, so I don't know why JK had to go and say he was gay.

Long story short...great books, great movies etc.

I can't believe how pathetic and forced that announcement was since it's not even in the books. And people weren't that upset about it.

Harry Potter box set of hardcover books in a chest looking case and stickers was $109 at Costco during the Christmas season in the seasonal book section and no shipping involved if you found it at your local Costco. This deal isn't so slick.

.... Cause being gay changes the amount of respect people should give him ???
And how does that put him in bad lighting? Someone's sexual preferences should not be a factor for the respect they deserve and the light in which they are viewed.

I agree. I bought most of them new when they were released for about $15 each. I filled in the missing ones via ebay for less than $10 each.

Exactly! I mean I didn't find out until this thread. He is a great character.
