    Rowling has a ton of pull over what happens in these movies.

    Probably an understatement. There aren't a lot of movies that are guaranteed cash cows like the Harry Potter franchise. The first "Fantastic Beasts" made $800+ million at the box office and the sequel pulled in $650+ million. "Make the movie my way and take half a billion dollars guaranteed or don't make it at all" is a pretty powerful bargaining position.
