I realized when I saw the longer clip that it seemed she had just slipped as part of a conversation about the characters, but what a big slip! Thing is, children really shouldn't be seeing their teachers and principals as sexual - married, yes, even to the same sex, fine, but not sexual. It's different. The way her comment was taken out of context and blasted by the media - which she should have expected - created something sexual in my view. So sad. And it gave ammunition to those who dislike the magic in the books, who feel it is anti-religious. I imagine the companies that produce the books and films were not happy with her.
Such a shame that she had to muddy the waters.
