Born on 22 December 1962 in London, he was educated at Eton College and the University of Oxford, where he co-founded the Oxford Film Foundation. He began his career as a runner for producer Elliott Kastner and later produced several low-budget films in partnership with Cassian Elwes. Wigram spent a decade working as an executive and producer in the independent sector, including running Geena Davis and Renny Harlin’s company The Forge and working at Alive Films. In November 2000 he was named senior vice president of production at Warner Bros., where he acquired the rights to the Harry Potter book series and oversaw the eight-film franchise. As an independent producer with a first-look deal at Warner Bros., Wigram produced *Sherlock Holmes* (2009) and its sequel *Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows* (2011), co-writing the story for the first film. He served as producer on *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* (2016) and *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald* (2018), and as executive producer on several Harry Potter films. *Sources: en.wikipedia.org, imdb.com, deadline.com.* ## On Fi1m (8) - *Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore* (2022), Fi1m 50, Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore.md) - *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald* (2018), Fi1m 46, Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/fantastic-beasts-the-crimes-of-grindelwald.md) - *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* (2016), Fi1m 61, Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them.md) - *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2* (2011), Fi1m 83, Executive Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-2.md) - *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1* (2010), Fi1m 67, Executive Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-1.md) - *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince* (2009), Fi1m 66, Executive Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince.md) - *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix* (2007), Fi1m 68, Executive Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/harry-potter-and-the-order-of-the-phoenix.md) - *The Underneath* (1995), Fi1m 62, Executive Producer — [page](https://film.one/film/the-underneath.md) ## Complete filmography (18) Every credit, newest first.
