All this discussion of fantastic beasts, and crimes  motivated me to read 
the second screenplay again.
For the record, the author's  about in the back of the screenplay states 
that Rowling collaborated with Thorne and Tiffany to create cursed 
child...so  that is firmly clear.
Still the book editions of the screenplays read a bit better to me, at 
least than the rehearsal edition of cursed child.
The companion books, Quidditch through the ages etc., are  short because 
they were written for charity, not  for large scale storytelling.
Speaking personally?  I would almost read the screenplay before  viewing 
the film because as written  the continuity makes more sense on the 
printed page, including Dumbledore's second brother.
depp's casting does the film no favors,  and I can imagine people getting 
distracted from the story quality because of him alone.
Just my take though,
