I agree absolutely that the text implies a whole lot more wood than 
the movie shows, but IMO it makes far more sense that the 
Gameskeeper's hut in a 1000+ year castle be made of more durable 
stuff than wood.  Otherwise they would have to rebuild it every few 
years.  And considering the type of pets Hagrid keeps, a house made 
mainly of wood would not have much life-expectancy.  :)

I am looking at the illustration right now.  I do not see where it 
says that the person is modeling the standard issue Hogwarts robe.  
Am I missing something?
