The film's central narrative strongly critiques prejudice, the fear of the 'other,' and the destructive consequences of suppressing identity, advocating for empathy and the protection of marginalized groups.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, though it includes visible diversity through new characters in significant roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, with themes of prejudice focusing on the magical versus non-magical divide rather than explicitly critiquing specific racial or gender identities.
The film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" does not explicitly feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While a character later revealed to be gay (Albus Dumbledore) is mentioned, his sexuality is not depicted or discussed within this specific movie. Therefore, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate.
The film features female characters such as Tina Goldstein and Queenie Goldstein. While Tina is an Auror and participates in action sequences, her combat involves the use of magic (wand-based spells) rather than direct physical combat or martial arts against male opponents. No female character is depicted winning in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The film primarily introduces new, original characters for this prequel series. Any characters with prior canonical existence, such as Gellert Grindelwald, maintain their established gender. No instances of a character previously established as one gender being portrayed as another were found.
The film introduces new characters to the wizarding world, and for pre-existing characters like Grindelwald, their portrayal aligns with established canon. No character originally established as one race is depicted as a different race.
