    why couldn’t Harry take his best mate Ron shopping with him to pick out some decent dress robes or a new wand?

    That would have put a strain on his relationship with the Weasleys:

    He would willingly have split all the money in his Gringotts vault with the Weasleys, but he knew they would never take it.

    - Goblet of Fire, chapter 10

    The few times Harry does buy stuff for Ron, Ron gets quite uncomfortable. Also, the first thing Harry does after giving startup money to the twins is to tell them to buy Ron some new dress robes.

      Yeah I’ve been seeing this Ron and Harry meme all over the place. I’m not a potter fan, I don’t think the books are anything super special, but still

      It’s very clearly shown that Harry would be willing to help them out financially but they don’t want Harry’s money in the slightest
