I never wanted any of you to die for me

And Remus, your son…

It’s ok Harry. He wasn’t even mentioned in the movies before now anyways.

      its like they were writing the second movie and someone called the director filming the 1st part…

      “hey, we forgot something important, we need to add a line for Tonks” “who?”

        Oh right Tonks, I accidentally called her by the Dutch translation. I read the books in Dutch but she’s hardly present in the movies.

            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.

                Slijmbal literally translates to suck up. Someone who tries to get into someone’s good graces. I think the main reason is that he couldn’t find a proper acronym for Uil, so he had some fun with it.

                S.L.IJ.M.B.A.L. stands for ‘Schriftelijke Loftuiting wegens IJver, Magische Bekwaamheid en Algeheel Leervermogen’, a diploma in the Harry Potter series.

                It means Written Praise for Diligence, Magical Skill and General Studiousness.
