I have wondered the same thing since seeing the information on Leaky. 
I thought the young lady who played Parvati in POA was quite pretty 
and she did actually speak in the boggart scene (of course it was 
only to say the spell but she spoke). I thought it was neat they were 
using actual twins as with James and Oliver playing Fred and George. 
Maybe these girls were not available for GoF or there was some other 
conflict with the studio. It is a shame though as they really would 
look like the prettiest girls in their year. Of course Emma is 
gorgeous too so already filmwise that would seem to be an odd comment 
for the boys to make but I guess because she is a brainy girl who is 
not giggley like Parvati the boys pay her no mind. I am glad that the 
film makers kept the Yule Ball though. Cannot wait to see who they 
pick to be the Weird Sisters.
