What was J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter film as a producer?

J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter film as a producer was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. She served as a producer on the two-part adaptation of the final novel, released in 2010.

The film was directed by David Yates and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. It covers the trio’s departure from Hogwarts, their search for Horcruxes, and the growing conflict with Voldemort’s forces.

The decision to split the final book into two films gave the filmmakers more time to include its plot and character material. Part 2 followed in 2011. Rowling had been involved creatively with the earlier films, but the producer credit on Part 1 marked a distinct formal role in the film series.
