What We Think

A classic adaptation largely untouched by the cultural trends of the last two decades. This is as non-woke as big-budget fantasy gaming gets, adventure-focused, loyal to the source, and blissfully free from forced modern messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) sticks closely to the original story, with minimal focus on character identities beyond what's in J.K. Rowling’s novels. There’s no sense that characters are included or elevated due to ideological considerations. The narrative is driven by classic adventure and friendship, not representation politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game presents traditional values: heroism, family, courage, and friendship. Masculinity, femininity, and classic British boarding school culture are all presented faithfully, without any apparent attempt to undermine or modernize them for contemporary tastes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t really present, but that’s down to the story’s magical fantasy focus, not a push for ideological conformity. Most characters uphold the norms of the wizarding world, and there’s no evident mocking of tradition or dissenting views.
