insists that 'the spirit of the film remains intact.'
The lines of dialogue that alluded to a previous romantic relationship between the two male lead characters, played by Jude Law and Mads Mikkelsen in Fantastic Beasts 3, were apparently removed from the movie in China to 'comply with local requirements,' but Warner Bros. As well as making Dumbledore canonically gay, Fantastic Beasts 3 references the close bond between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, which Rowling believes to have once had a sexual dimension. Rowling first announced Dumbledore was gay in 2009, yet the films had never made any direct references to Dumbledore's sexuality until now.
