In the Harry Potter version, the roles of Gottlieb and Newton go to Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood-- instead Bechdel pass with flying colors FOR SCIENCE!
Harry and Ron are a rookie piloting team with something to prove. Ron is trying to outperform Fred and George, who together form one hell of a Kaiju-stomping team, and Harry is trying to avenge his dad, who died piloting a Jaeger with Sirius Black. Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald were the greatest, Kaiju-killingest team EVER (Alchemy Phoenix!). Aberforth Dumbledore sells Kaiju parts on the black market. Seamus and Dean are another co-pilot team, Lee Jordan is a soundboard operated, and Neville is some kind of behind-the-scenes researcher or repair tech who wanted to live up to the legacy of his Jaeger pilot parents but can't because he's too clumsy and too prone to getting lost in the drift. McGonagall is the stern-but-fair officer who points out to Neville that he's actually assisted in more Kaiju kills than his parents did.
