Rowling wrote the book fantastic beast and where to find them, with an 
introduction by albus Dumbledore long before the films.
In fact some editions of the book, have notes from Harry Ron etc,. in 
them.
The screenplays  are themselves books.  published  to indeed enhance the 
story she is telling.  Both have Rowling's name on them, in paper form, 
like the books themselves.  I  am unsure what  you are expressing here.
I suppose you likewise dislike Quidditch through the ages and the tales 
book as well?
<hopes she spelled quidditch correctly laughs!>
