  Was I the only person bothered by the appearence of the uniforms?  I went to private schools ... If I'd ever attended classes looking as sloppy as they do in this movie (shirts pulled out, ties not neat&tidy), I'd have been written up and sent to the disciplinarian.  The street clothes bothered me, too, because in GOF they make a big deal of making sure that everyone "looks muggle" clothing-wise before heading out of the house for the World Cup.  I can't see them spending that much time outside of robes, even at Hogsmeade (at least, the students from wizarding families wouldn't have a grasp on this like the muggle-borns would).
