wait,
If you are referring to the fantastic beast films, JK r wrote the 
screenplays.  making them more authentic technically than any of the hp 
films themselves.
As for cursed child, it too was written with Rowling  contributing to 
the  final product.
For a moment I thought you might be speaking of the expanded stories 
pottermore is producing and selling.  Still if Rowling is writing the 
work herself as with  all of the fantastic beast films, what makes that 
less than genuine?

Personally, Cursed Child felt like fan fiction, and Fantastic Beasts, because there wasn't much backstory written by Jo Rowling, just doesn't feel as authentic...maybe because they aren't based off of the books. If Jo had written an entire, detailed backstory about Newt Scamander, then I'd probably feel better about the movies.
