Rowling has confirmed that some of the characters in the "Harry Potter" universe are gay. Some fans, however, are perturbed that these characters don't actually identify as gay in the books or movies. It was passionate, and it was a love relationship," Rowling said. The Twitter account "The Rowling Library" transcribed this section of the interview.
While the Harry Potter series does have two canon LGBT characters, many fans have felt like other characters would have been better choices for representation. While Ginny ends up with Harry, a lot of fans felt like she would have made a great bisexual character. While Remus is never identified as queer and he marries Tonks, many feel like it would make sense to have him be bisexual. His close relationship with Sirius and the intensity of their reunion in Prisoner of Azkaban lead many to think they could be a couple.

First of all, I love the Harry Potter novels. That does not mean however that I cannot see its faults and want to critically analyse it. So here we go. They can all be said to be coded as queer in one way or another.
