As has been stated, no, the Dutch version of OoP
has not come out and I haven't even heard of a
date for it coming out.  The first none English
version I've heard about is German and it's due
out well after June 21st.

Let me tell you, if there had been a Dutch
version out, even I would have bought it and
struggled through the translation rather than
wait for the english version.  LOL

A question though for those who have read the
books in both english and another language.  How
good has the translation been?  I know that
watching the translations of english-spoken TV
shows or subtitling on DVDs here in the
Netherlands has had me cracking up at times.  So
I wonder if they do book translations a bit more
accurately.  Also, do they make changes to make
it more understandable, such as changing sherbert
lemons to lemon drops as the did in the US
version?
