Which film did J.K. Rowling write that was released in 2016?

J.K. Rowling wrote the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, released in 2016.

The film was Rowling’s screenwriting debut and expanded the wizarding world beyond Harry Potter’s school years. It follows Newt Scamander, a magizoologist whose magical creatures escape in 1920s New York. Eddie Redmayne played Newt in the film.

The title is shared with a fictional Hogwarts textbook and a real 2001 charity companion book credited to Newt Scamander. The 2016 production is a feature-film screenplay by Rowling, not an adaptation of a conventional full-length novel. It began a film series set decades before Harry’s story.
