You might even say that JKR *forces* us to look beyond looks.  There 
are scores of characters in the wizarding world, but very few appear 
to be knock-outs, or even physically attractive.  The list of the 
definitely and consistently attractive includes Fleur, Cedric and 
Cho.  Sirius seems alone among the adults who is characterized as 
attractive.  (Help me if I've missed someone who is definitely 
physically attractive based on his/her description in the books).  
The list of the unattractive and even repulsive, however, seems 
endless by comparison.
