The Sergeant Majorette says

Not at all. My "Harry Potter Experience" when I was a kid was "The 
Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, 
which are not only English but late-Victorian. Granted, I am a female 
(more verbal?), but I was younger, like 6 or so. You get deep enough 
into it, you can get the meaning from context.

Besides, why a boy would wear a jumper is an easier question for an 
American parent to answer than why Ron would try to get Hermione to 
eat a spotted dick.
