That said, the movies kinda sucked. They were just weird and often unnecessarily so. And I will continue to insist that the actors were largely shite, especially Daniel Radcliffe.
HBO could actually do this pretty well, though I'm still a little puzzled as to why they're re-booting a property that's only like 15 years old instead of going with a sequel or spinoff. Hell, even prequels could be interesting given the amount of time that takes place between the Fantastic Beasts series and the energy they put into describing the previous rise/fall of Voldemort in the books.
Just a strange decision; seems entirely risk averse.

While she should beyond a shadow of a doubt, zero chance they take her input. She upset the mob by having "controversial" viewpoints as it was not in line with the hive mob. Doubt Warner Brothers will want to deal with that.
I am curious though, do they have to get the blessing of J.K. to make it as it is her IP or has that passed? If it still is hers then I can see them just going reboot as that stuff is already out. If she doesn't then the sky is the limit, sorta how Star Wars has it's own canon and material well beyond what Lucas ever dreamed of.
