Here is the contact info for use of Harry Potter.

I wish you luck, but I think you would have better luck with a less
commercial
piece.  But before approaching a copyright holder I would have all my ducks
in
a row.  Have answers to any question they may have and clearly define the
scope
of your intended use of the copyright, and be clear that you will abide by
all their
restrictions.

One of my favorite candidates for translation to film is "Little Fuzzy" by
H. Beam Piper.
