Canon IS confusing over this issue, e.g. isn't it VERY strange they 
are even described wearing robes for a fast sport like Quidditch? It 
seems MOST inconvenient. This also seems to suggest that the way the 
film presents clothing cannot really be accurate. As the whole setting 
of the plot is decidedly medieval, it seems very questionable that 
anyone would be permitted to wear any modern muggle clothing at all, 
even underneath the robes (whatever they may look like).
Will be interesting to hear more opinions
