Kloves has also returned to the franchise with the prequel ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' series. He helped Rowling craft the story of the first two films and was given a producer credit. He was bumped up to a co-writing credit with the upcoming third film to help Rowling better translate her style to the film medium after the second received mixed to negative critical reception.

Steven Keith Kloves (born March 18, 1960) is the guy who wrote the scripts for all the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films except for ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]''. He bowed out for ''Phoenix'' to write the screenplay for a movie version of ''Literature/TheCuriousIncidentOfTheDogInTheNightTime'', a project which ended up in DevelopmentHell anyway. Prior to his work on the ''Potter'' series, he wrote and directed ''Film/TheFabulousBakerBoys'', which coincidentally is one of Creator/JKRowling[='s=] favorite films. He wrote ''Film/WonderBoys'' and was a co-writer for ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''.

Throughout the decade on the ''Potter'' series, Kloves had to consult Rowling for information about which details would come to play in future installments. She refused to tell him how the series would end, but she still told him more than anyone else, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6zON8p87J0 which I probably shouldn't say on screen, or they'll kidnap and torture him]]." Kloves and Rowling developed a friendly working relationship and both have spoken highly of each other. Kloves saying Hermione was his favorite character is what got him the job - it also led to half the fan base accusing him of making Ron dumber and weaker in the films than he was in the books.

Kloves and Rowling developed a friendly working relationship and both have spoken highly of each other. Unfortunately, Kloves ended up being something of a BaseBreaker with fans who felt that he added to (if not outrightly created) the {{Flanderization}} of Ron Weasley as a useless, cowardly idiot while treating Hermione Granger (his admitted favorite character) as a sacred and holy CreatorsPet (which certainly didn't do the shipping wars any favors). In fact, Kloves saying Hermione was his favorite character is what got him the job (though it seems Rowling neglected to tell him Hermione would not hook up with Harry, judging by all the alleged "shipping" moments in the films).
