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.
There are a lot of plot holes from the movies that are explained in the books. That doesn’t mean they aren’t plot holes for the movies, because those parts (holes) of the story weren’t included in the story (plot). Like the entirety of the titular mystery of The Half Blood Prince.
Maybe there’s a novelization of the Phantom Menace that shows Qui-Gon going to all the merchants and failing to exchange his credits for local currency or goods. If it wasn’t in the movie, it’s a hole in the plot.
The closest we ever get with money issues between Harry and Ron is when Ron tries to buy candy from the trolley, realizes he only has enough for a pack of gum, and declined Harry’s offer to pay.

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
