“Even before J.K. Rowling revealed that Dumbledore was gay, he represented the idea that you can be powerful, respected, and beloved while also being a fun-loving nonconformist. He wears colorful, sparkling robes. Music brings a tear to his eye. He makes silly jokes and pokes fun at people who take themselves too seriously. Jude Law’s Dumbledore seems like the filmmakers looked at these traits and asked, “Wouldn’t it be better if he was a more *traditional* leading man?” So The Crimes of Grindelwald emphasizes Dumbledore’s aggressive, manipulative side, with Law buttoned up in a sedate three-piece suit.”
