Carol responds:

I think it's highly unlikely that Xeno Lovegood would show up at Remus
and Tonks's wedding, or at Harry's birthday, both of which would be
small and private. Also, it's unlikely that DEs/MoM employees would
crash anything short of a huge event like Bill and Fleur's wedding.
And if Bellatrix is supposed to have orders to prune her family tree,
Tonks's wedding to the werewolf has to occur before that indispensable
opening scene with Voldemort, Snape, et al. at the Malfoys.

If the movie is made in two parts, as seems to be the plan now,
there's no reason not to introduce Bill as a new character.
(Moviegoers have already met Fleur--and why not bring back Krum for a
cameo while they're at it?)

Carol, who thinks that readers of DH will expect, and get, the big
Weasley wedding (but not the Veela cousins)
