Carol responds:

Well, yes and no. The Longbottoms were canonically tortured by a team
of four DEs: Bellatrix Lestrange; her husband, Rodolphus; his brother,
Rabastan, and Barty Crouch Jr. (who was a boy of nineteen and not a
man in his thirties as in the GoF film, but oh, well). So it wasn't so
much setting the story straight as confusing viewers who haven't read
the books, IMO.

Carol, wondering why Rabastan is even in the books since JKR keeps
forgetting that she's created him but understanding why both Lestrange
brothers were left out of the films
