Well, if Percy needed his robes (he also attended the ball), and Gred
and Forge already were using Bill and Charlie's old ones, then Ron
would need a new set.  I'm a little surprised that Molly didn't try to
buy fabric and sew him some, magically of course, considering she can
knit and is otherwise a pretty domestic little "Molly Magic".  It's
what I would have done.

As to needing the Lockhart books, let's also remember that Molly is
infatuated with him!  Perhaps that's part of what persuaded her to buy
so many books?
