Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

Overview

Gellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central conflict unequivocally condemns the rise of a fascist-coded demagogue promoting supremacist ideology, aligning with progressive values of anti-discrimination and anti-authoritarianism.

The movie exhibits visible diversity in its casting of new, significant characters. Its narrative centers on a conflict against a supremacist ideology, which aligns with anti-discrimination principles, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.

Secondary

The film strongly implies a romantic past between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, which is central to Dumbledore's character and the plot. However, the narrative avoids explicit confirmation of Dumbledore's sexuality or their relationship, relying on subtext. This results in a portrayal that neither explicitly affirms nor denigrates LGBTQ+ identity.

The film "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on magical conflicts, character backstories, and the wizarding world, without engaging with transsexual identity or experiences in any capacity.

The film features several female characters who participate in magical duels and confrontations. However, their victories and engagements are primarily achieved through the use of magic, not through direct physical combat, hand-to-hand fighting, or melee weapon skills against male opponents.

The film features established characters from the Wizarding World, including Albus Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel, all of whom retain their canonical genders. While some characters' timelines are adjusted, no character established as one gender in prior canon is portrayed as a different gender.

The film introduces new characters like Nagini and Leta Lestrange whose races were not established in prior Harry Potter canon. All pre-existing characters with an established race are portrayed by actors of the same race.
