Putting a positive spin on it.

I have decided that, if the film of GoF is uncanonically portraying Durmstrang and Beauxbatons as old-fashioned in their lack of co-educational status, this means that the homoerotica in both schools is rampant--and that Hogwarts is by comparison a hotbed of progressiveness and so there's even less homophobia there than we slashers pretend, in our giddy fandom brains.

So meh.

I wanted to see Durmstrang girls and Beauxbatons boys! Of course, I also wanted to see Harry nekkid, spied on by Myrtle, and I'm guessing I'm not going to get that either.

That was like, the best part of the book, too. Darn screenwriters.
