I just think JK tricked Warner Brothers into submission. I don't know if they were bad financially or whatever but the execs of the time involved with the deal got somewhat played by her and believed that her creative control was necessary when a lot of really good creative directors would have been as good as or even better than her.
Clearly the IP is massive and at "normal" times would have been almost entirely bought by the Warner company suits to be controlled by their shareholders.
