Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were both interviewed at the PoA DVD Launch by CBBC Newsround. The interviews can be read here and here.

Quote:

Emma agreed. She has lots of scenes with Krum, who's her date for the infamous Yule Ball.

"Stanislav is genuinely lovely," she said. "I have to do some dancing scenes with him and he's actually not a bad dancer."

Emma admitted she was having formal dancing lessons for the ball scenes, including learning the tango and the foxtrot!

Quote:

Emma told Newsround that she was learning new skills for Hermione for the next movie - learning to dance! "And it's not just normal dancing, I'm talking the tango, the foxtrot, waltzing, it's quite impressive," she laughed.

Quote:

He said he couldn't quite believe it'd been four years since he was cast as Ron and admitted he'd seen a bit of the first film on TV a few weeks ago, which had "brought back some memories".

Rupert said it was cool to have some new cast members on the set of the fourth film, the Goblet of Fire, currently shooting at Leavesden Studios. Key new roles are filled by Katie Leung, who plays Harry's girlfriend, Cho Chang, and Stanislav Ianevski, who plays Viktor Krum.

"They're really nice, it's great to have some new people," he said.

Quote:

David added he expected to be back as Lupin in the fifth film and would be "delighted" to play the part again.

But some of the cast had different reactions when asked the big question - will they be back for films five, six and seven?!

Rupert said: "I want to do all of them if I can, they're just such good fun."

But Emma was more cautious: "Woah!" she laughed. "I've honestly no idea, no idea at all."

Quote:

Rupert told us: "We're about halfway through filming now, it's going really well. In this one you've got the Yule Ball, where we all have to find partners so that will be quite interesting. And I have to wear these horrible dress robes for the ball so I'm not really looking forward to that."

Quote:

In fact, all of the cast agreed they were having loads of fun on set at Leavesden for film four, and that new director Mike Newell was "crazy and fun".

Totally agree with you Emma. But I think the producers are just thinking like the way movie producers usually think--

Like "Okay, we're spending so much on this movie.. heck, its supposed to be more expensive than all the 3 LotR movies combined! So let's do what we think will be a hit with the audience to ensure return on investments, meaning not just the core HP fans. And non-HP fans would predictably like the standard, usual elements in teen films like 'American Pie' when it comes to a prom night sequence.. so if we cant make them do kissing scenes and stuff, then let's just go for some music and dance numbers! And since surveys say Emma is a favorite, being in the Top 10 of Google's most searched item, let's focus the scene on her!"

there... well, much as I dont agree with it, I see where the franchise is coming from.

I agree with emma(marcella riddle)as well.Whats up with these movie people?why is everything going around hermione?i think the yule ball scene should be more focussed on harry and the champions's partners.But i never remember hermione danced so much in the yule ball(emma watson need not take so many dance sessions).hermione is definetly not that dancey type.I am dreading GOF to see hermione because,i just dont hope they transform Hermione granger into emma watson!

But if it is in her PoV (as some of the script already is - remember that segment we saw of her with Harry in the tent before the first task?) then people will be after Kloves' blood.

Well she does dance with Krum at the opening but yes there is no need to focus on her character for more than a few seconds tops.
