clothes.

They don't magic up their school uniform robes, instead they buy them
from Madam Malkin. Madam Malkin and her shop assistants don't even fit
the robes by magic (it could look like the measuring tape dancing around
in Ollivander's, except that the fabric would stretch or shrink or fold
itself up into a hem as the tape touched it). I suspect they don't magic
up any of their wizarding clothes. So, if they magic up their Muggle
clothes, there must be some metaphysical reason why Muggle clothes
are different.
