"The Neither Side of Never" was written with a view to it eventually becoming a 13 part streaming series. The main issue is that writing a screenplay that complies with all the arcane conventions makes it an art mastered by very few. If it's not done right, it's not likely to ever be "picked up".

I've seen all the movies and I've read the 7 Harry Potter books. I will definitely buy the Fantastic Beast books to read in the near future.
