Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict is a clear allegory for the fight against a charismatic, supremacist demagogue, championing democratic integrity and diverse alliances against an exclusionary ideology.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast and explicitly acknowledges a major character's homosexuality, which is central to his character. However, it does not involve explicit race-swaps of traditionally white roles, nor does its narrative explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The film explicitly confirms Albus Dumbledore's homosexuality and his past love for Gellert Grindelwald. This relationship is central to Dumbledore's character and motivations, depicted with dignity and complexity, affirming the worth of his queer identity despite the tragic circumstances of their separation.
The film "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the conflict between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, with no elements pertaining to transsexual identity or experiences.
The film primarily features magical combat, where characters use wands and spells. While female characters like Lally Hicks and Queenie Goldstein participate in battles and overcome opponents, their victories are achieved through magical abilities rather than direct physical combat, hand-to-hand fighting, or melee weapons.
The film features established characters from the Harry Potter universe and the Fantastic Beasts series, all of whom retain their canonical genders. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute gender swaps.
All established legacy characters in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore maintain their canonical race. New characters introduced in the film do not constitute race swaps as their race was not previously defined in source material.
