Kind of like Gant's Law forbidding conjuring up food...something Rowling pulled out of her ear to limit things. Or there might be real bad drawbacks to doing that with a house that don't apply to a tent.

Though Ron gets upset with his hand me down robes and other things, his parents, especially father, values muggle lifestyle. I think he and his wife see certain things extravagantly and want their children to hold those same values. Importance is placed on family and friendship and love and less on vanity and extravagance. I could be totally off the mark though. Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Friday, April 22, 2016, Shahara shahara9 at yahoo.com [HPforGrownups] wrote: Or, perhaps, their Magic is better placed elsewhere ?
