Actually, a few moments before this shot, you see the tables from above and his robe is lying next to him

LOL, yeah.

I love Cuarón's cinematography in PoA, but it was the movie where they started drifting a bit too far away from the book canon. I hope we see more traditional wizard robes in the new show.

Damn these kids and their Muggle fashion trends! Would you believe my son doesn't even OWN a robe?!? No respect or decency in young wizards today!

I mean, weren't they still wearing their robes during class in PoA and later films? Even in philosopher's stone they wear sweaters and pants during christmas break.
