Which film did J.K. Rowling co-produce and co-write from her Fantastic Beasts screenplay?

J.K. Rowling co-produced and co-wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Released in 2016, the film was Rowling’s screenwriting debut. She wrote the screenplay, and the film expanded the wizarding world beyond Harry Potter by following magizoologist Newt Scamander in 1920s New York.

The title comes from a Hogwarts textbook presented as a companion publication in the Harry Potter universe. The film is not a direct adaptation of a conventional Rowling novel; it is based on her original screenplay and uses the fictional textbook as a starting point.

The movie launched a planned film series and introduced characters including Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Queenie Goldstein, and Jacob Kowalski. Later entries include The Crimes of Grindelwald and The Secrets of Dumbledore. Those sequels are separate films, so the first film’s full title is the required answer.
