Actually, Sherry, another important part of the Yule Ball (although
for the movie-only fans, might be best left out till movie 5, hence
they forget about it and/or it needs to be repeated, similar to the
discussion earlier about things being left out of movie 3 to put
into movie 4 instead) is Dumbledore talking about the Room of
Requirement (albeit he doesn't know what it's called and uses it as
an emergency bathroom). This triggers Harry's memory the next year
when Dobby tells Harry about it as a place for the DA to meet, and
makes Hermione think the idea is ok (since if Dumbledore knows
SOMETHING about the room, it must be a real place...).
Just my opinion, based on canon, but like I said, it could be left
out till Movie 5, and most likely will be, Yule Ball or no Yule Ball
in Movie 4.
