“Why is everything I own rubbish?”

I get that Ron has always suffered from having his brothers' hand-me-downs. But I don't know about you, but I've always thought the timing of thus particular quote was kind of bad, considering a mere three fhapters ago he received an amazing pair of omnioculars. I guess Jo forgot about those pretty quickly, since we never see them again after the QWC. (Unless the tent was ransacked by death eaters who took them, but I kind of doubt that.)
