Not to mention, that Harry wouldn't have to leave the Dursleys for 
Dudley's birthday party. Besides, it already was around the end of 
OotP, the last days of june.

Hickengruendler:

Both of these things can change. Neville and Harry are now closer, 
and Harry's friend could decide to make a surprise party for him. I 
found both of this more likely than Ginny or even Percy's birthday, 
who are to late in the summer, as you correctly said. Besides, Percy 
and Harry are not exactly close. I agree that Harry's birthday party 
is a bit more likely than Neville's.

However, I put my money on the big Weasley wedding. Bill and Fleur 
seemed pretty close in OotP. Maybe a wedding already a year after 
they met seemed a bit soon, but I still think it's possible, 
especially because in the Potterverse, everybody seemed to marry 
pretty early. Besides, there are two things I desperatly want to see 
in these books. The first is aa wizarding-world funeral, and since a 
graveyrad seems to play a role in the next books it seems likely that 
we will see a funeral. And the second thing is a wizarding-wedding. 
For dramatic purpose, it would even make sense, if in the beginning 
of the next book is a wedding and in the end a funeral.
