What We Think

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is about as non-woke as blockbusters get these days. The focus is on storytelling over ideology, with no forced representation or overt moralizing. An adventure first, an agenda never.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story focuses on adventure and character growth, not identity politics. Characters are cast for their fit in the narrative world, and no one is shoehorned in for diversity's sake. It's refreshingly free from forced representation or the kind of character over-empowerment seen in newer movies.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays traditional values like friendship, loyalty, and bravery. Masculinity and femininity both exist naturally within the narrative. There's no undermining of family, gender roles, or cultural heritage, the magical world builds on British tradition rather than rewriting or subverting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While good and evil are clearly drawn, traditional beliefs aren't mocked or reduced to one-dimensional villains. There's no overwhelming ideological narrative. The world is imaginative but not pushing a singularly modern worldview. Alternative perspectives are present, and the story doesn't lecture the audience.
