I am reposting a portion of a previous post, in order to show that 
JKR never said that Harry develops an interest in Hermione:

The interview, or rather television program, that we are talking 
about can be found here (actually a paraphrase by some of the 
television viewers, after it had aired on 28 Dec 2001):

The news report that you had linked to, referring to this program can 
be found here:

http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_480162.html

The Ananova news report:

'There will also be further romance following on from Harry Potter 
And The Goblet Of Fire in which he has a date with a quidditch team-
mate - and develops more of an interest in pal Hermione.'

And the viewer's report on the television program:

'There was no mention of any specific relationships beginning, but 
it's clear that one of the sub-stories of the next book is 
relationships and lurrrve.'

Comparing the two reports, it is clear that the viewer's report of 
the aired television program shows that it reveals a good deal less 
than the pre-airing reports, of which the Ananova report was one, had 
claimed.

Here is a discussion thread about this whole mess from just before to 
just after the program first aired:
