 Goodasitgets:
Percy is not at the family celebration and much earlier on in the 
book in Percy and Padfoot we see in Percy's letter to Ron how 
strongly Percy is allied with the MoM, for whatever reason, and how 
he even considers Dolores Umbridge, "a delightful woman"!
I think the movie really should have shown Kreacher lying to Harry 
when he tries to verify if Sirius is at home or has gone to the MoM.
