At this point in the 'Harry Potter' franchise, do we really need to know about wizard sex?

J.K. Rowling's latest take on how Dumbledore and Grindlewald supposedly had an 'intense love' and 'sexual' relationship feels like another groan-worthy round in a very bad game show — What Will J.K. Rowling Retcon Next?

Every time she hits us with a fake-woke Potterverse fun fact, a phoenix loses one of its feathers. Even for all the galleons and sickles in the world, fans just aren't buying it.

But Twitter has made it clear that wizard sex is probably at bottom on the list in terms of wizarding world lore we'd like to know about.

Next we'll be hearing about wizarding bathroom practices. Oh, wait. Accio brain bleach, please!
