I never said that magic wasn't allowed, magic is allowed there, but think 
of the dangers of having it able to be apparated to? Do you know how easy it would be to get into Hogwarts if you could apparate at Hogsmeade then take a 
5 minute walk to the castle? That would be the stupidest idea of "defence" 
I'd have ever heard of. I believe that the founding headmasters were smarter than that and had a barier miles long, otherwise, Hogswart could be under 
siege if Voldie had enough power! Sorry, but I believe there's no way an 
ancient barrier like the one around Hogwarts would ever be limited to 
Hogsmeade so the villagers could have "fun". (This is not an angry tone, 
just a "I don't agree" tone.)
