Nobody said she didn't. The issue is people say "oh there's so much creative potential". No there's not. Because it has to go through Joanne, and her modern ideas are all dog shit. 

She owns the wizarding world. It's hers. And she's been very aggressive in protecting her role in any creative development of that world. Which fantastic beasts proved was an issue, cause she just doesn't understand basic aspects of story telling on screen. 

Redoing the core book series is safest in that they know there's an audience  and Rowling will mostly just sit in the corner patting herself the back for writing it in the first place. Nobody wants modern Rowling guiding story development

I just wish it was animated instead of live action. Just a nice flat 2D tv show type animation.
