Question about Goblet of Fire scene

[ankh]

Just saw GOF. As I haven't read the books (the first one put me to sleep after 20 pages - yeah, I'm probably eternally damned for saying that) I have a question for those who read the books and saw GOF. The scene at the ball, when Ron is wearing the horrible robe his mum sent. Why doesn't he use magic to create some decent clothes?

You won't be eternally damned for saying that. :) If so, you and I can share the same boat. I get about halfway through the books before I start skimming. I get bored and want them to go faster. I did read this last book all the way through though. I surprised myself. I didn't get bored mid-way through, didn't start skimming, just kept going from page one to the end.

I found some of the books at a garage sale and bought them for 25 cents each. This way, I can skim and know basically what's going on in the movie because a lot of things have to get cut out. That doesn't stop all the questions I have though. Like why does Mrs. Weasley make all the Weasley clothes? Why can't clothes be conjured? Why do they have to "buy" brooms and all the bits and bobs for doing their magic? Wouldn't a little conjuring spell do that for them?
