I agree with you on so many things there! Even though I didn't read all too much crack into it (mostly because I just see all those things that happened during time travel as the absurd consequences of the forbidden playing with time, aka one of the reasons WHY it's forbidden - because it just messes everything up entirely), but there was certain some of it xD.
I kind of believe that Amos was under a spell already when he asked Harry to bring back Cedric - no doubt, he is incredibly bitter and still grieving Cedric whether or not he's under magical influence, but why would he ask Harry that right in this moment and not way, way earlier? Pretty sure Delphi has her fingers in the game there - somehow.
Agreed that Ginny and Harry wouldn't allow the whole outcast thing to happen, but then I think that kids are pretty good at pretending - Rose said it herself, they're talking to each other just for the adults, so maybe they've found their tricks to actually hide what's going on and pretend it's nothing but sibling fighting? That's the impression I kind of got there...
Scorpius DEFINITELY was way more intriguing than Albus tbh. I would have loved to know more about him!
OH, DELPHI XD. I already somehow stated in my post that I have issues with Delphi, and yes she does feel a bit Mary Sue-ish, but generally... I still believe the whole Bella-Voldemort affair - Bellatrix WAS delusional, so I'm pretty sure she believed that Voldemort loved her and that she was carrying his love child, but Voldemort SURELY had other intentions there. I don't wanna clog your comment section rambling on about them, but I posted my theory about the whole thing in the comments of my own reaction post, if you're interested!
Albus kissing Hermione... Yeah, let's forget about that. OY WTF.
I WANTED MENTION OF REMUS AND SIRIUS TOO! I love Remus but am not that big of a fan of Sirius, but there NEEDED to be some mention of him... I'm surprised they didn't, especially because they brought back so many other characters...
Ughhhh, the Spartacus moment and generally other parts of the scriptwriting were the wooooorst. Threw me out of the concept SO HARD, because WTF? And let's rather not mention Voldemort day, because WTF AGAIN??
Agreed on Harry - funny how I adore Harry Potter so beyond words but always disliked Harry, but grown-up!Harry was a LOT better. Yes, of course he has issues, but then who doesn't? I actually liked him in most parts.
Hermione being stoic and cold is what I lead back to the whole absurdity thing of the time travel consequences - she's not herself there, she's ENTIRELY DIFFERENt, because they're in a completely different universe. Funny enough, she was more of a Snape than Snape himself was lol.
TOTALLY AGREED ON ROSE TOO!
And I believe that judging the whole thing based on the spoilers alone is a mistake. I was sceptic myself and didn't even read all too many... People should only judge after actually reading the play - keeping in mind that it IS a play, of course... But yeah, judging by the spoilers is pretty much of a mistake, especially looking at WHAT leaked...

Agreed on Scorpius and Albus! It might be a bit of a cliché, but then at the same time, it would probably be more of a cliché if it weren't the case... I suppose they couldn't win with that, because people would complain either way, but I loved their friendship! It was so cute tbh.
Agreed on Harry - funny how I adore Harry Potter so beyond words but always disliked Harry, but grown-up!Harry was a LOT better. Yes, of course he has issues, but then who doesn't? I actually liked him in most parts.
