I can think of a few examples:

"Fair Ravenclaw from Glen" (one of the Sorting Hat's songs)
and I think the general impression of the Veela was that they were 
beautiful, obviously before they threw a fit.  And Arthur comments 
about not going (for girls) based on looks alone.
But as far as the students, they are generally described in ways 
other than 'ooh, she's so pretty' etc.  Ron certainly notices who is 
NOT beautiful when thinking about who to ask to the Yule Ball.
