I didn't get the GUEST's whole thing about Hagrid and gay/lesbian audiences. Is Hagrid supposed to be gay in the film? Did anyone else get this from the movie, or is it just one isolated opinion? He certainly isn't gay in the books; and has a (female) love interest by book 4. Anyway, how do you think you can tell?

It's of couse absurd to say that Hagrid was "tossed into the script" for any reason at all. He was an integral part of the book's plot, and an integral part of the film's plot. And kids would have revolted if he had been left out. In what sense "tossed in," then?
