[Ed McMahon voice] You are correct, sir!

(er...ma'am)

This actually makes the "leaky Hogwarts charm" worse...as Charlie's friends aren't even current Hogwarts students! (presumably)

(and no exceptions for alumni either, since almost every wizard in the UK is a Hogwarts alumnus)

Anybody care to unravel this inconsistency?  "DD's charm repels only those (adult) wizards with bad intentions (with a loophole for transporters of illegally-procured dragons, as long as they're being taken out of Hogwarts, not in)"?
