Even with two movies, they omitted quite a bit (i.redd.it)

And Remus, your son...

I just figured it was autocorrect. interesting the translation changed her name, unless Tonks means something in Dutch.

It doesn't. The translator took a lot of liberties with translating stuff, especially stuff that's kind of a play on words. For instance, O.W.L. becomes S.L.I.J.M.B.A.L. which it really didn't need to be. Diagon Alley becomes de Wegisweg (the way is away).

I don't really mind the Dutch translation, I was 7 or something when I read the first book so English would've been a bit too difficult.

Wonder what was going through the translators mind with that one?

"O.W.L that's a based on the word owl, and (based on the internet) Owl translates to another 3 letter word, Uil, therefore Slijmbal shall be the new term.
