Last year, author J.K. Rowling hinted that Dumbledore's sexual orientation would be addressed: “I can't tell you everything I would like to say because this is obviously a five-part story so there's lots to unpack in that relationship. … We'll see him at that formative period of his life. As far as his sexuality is concerned … watch this space.”

Following Yates' interview, fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment to Rowling, and she's having none of it.
Tweeted the author, along with a GIF of a man with a TV remote putting the internet on ‘mute:' “Being sent abuse about an interview that didn't involve me, about a screenplay I wrote but which none of the angry people have read, which is part of a five-movie series that's only one instalment in, is obviously tons of fun, but you know what's even *more* fun?”
