If by "not be accurate" GulPlum means 
"hoax" then I agree.  Rather reluctantly, 
I might add, since I would love to read 
any of the HP script in the comfort 
of a squashy couch and compare it 
to the movie as it plays on the TV.  
But even in quickly skimming over the 
script of the link above my hoax!alarm 
kept going off.

I won't go into the details here - the 
listing of errors on the forger's part 
can only make future forgeries that 
much harder to detect but let me point 
out at least one: Kloves does not use 
"Steven" for either bylines or credits.  
This is somewhat counter-intuitive, 
which is probably why the forger made 
the error; after all, you would think 
that for the record, on a title page, 
a writer would use a more formal name.  
But note - he doesn't go by "Steven 
Kloves" in the credits either.  For 
all we know, he's a "Stephen."

So, FWIW, I will be reading this 
document with a grain of salt, the 
way I'd read fanfics.
