The uniform robes are actually what I pictured for Hogwarts. In the 
books, JKR is never really clear as to what the robes look like. 
Since it's been said she was consulted regarding the movie, I can't 
imagine that A: they didn't ask her what the robes looked like (since 
she isn't specific in the books) and B: she would have neglected to 
tell them "Hey, you've got the robes wrong!" if they DIDN'T ask. 

Just my two cents :) Personally, I'm delighted with what I'm seeing 
in the movie.
