Indeed, why did J.K. Rowling not think that her screenplay for Fantastic Beasts would be enough to delight readers? We’ve waited this many years for something for her that is “Harry Potter” — that would have been enough. Why would she give up more of her rights and her story to a play that was so sub-par? Did Jack Thorne and John Tiffany blackmail her? Is she trying to prove to us that she isn’t perfect and makes mistakes? That the fanfiction community is her bitch? What?
Also:
Indeed, where is Remus and Tonk’s child? Clearly there were some characters Rowling didn’t allow Jack Thorne to touch.

I didn’t hate this (I gave it 3 1/2 stars, but I do understand why people are disappointed. The standout in the story for me is Scorpius. I loved him and thought his character was the closest to Rowling’s writing.

I agree. He was the best character in that story. Makes you wonder how much direction she gave Thorne. – Gabs
