Never forget that J.K. Rowling encourages the drinking of alcoholic beverages in children at the ripe old age of 13. What a role model!

of course there are alcoholic varieties but it is possible to add alcohol to pretty much anything. generally it improves it. which in the case of ginger beer is not difficult

Not anywhere as bad as almost every American young adult cartoon (think family guy, south park, futurama) shilling for drug use, especially weed, and also pretty much every other YA show making you feel bad at like fifteen if you've never kissed a girl and some movies entire premises being that the main character hates themselves for never having had sex when they're like 18. I wonder why there are so many nihilistic, drug using, promiscuous, and/or angry anti-social youths today... Feel bad for the r9k types who just don't know any better.

It's the fulfillment of a prophecy. He did not commit suicide nor did God. He was killed. He did not die of his own hand. He fulfilled the prophecy. It was sacrifice but not suicide. Silly atheist.

In the UK, you can drink at 18, if I'm not mistaken.

Consider this then, in the US, where the drinking age is 21, the average 16-18 year old begins experimenting with this drink, with most children aged 14-15 having at least tried an alcoholic beverage already. This age gap, between 16 and 21, is 5 years, as is the gap between 13 and 18 year olds in the UK.

There's nothing special about that OP. It's just kids doing what they've always done - emulate the older kids and try to be grown up. That JK Rowling understands this adolescent fantasizing simply implies she is in touch with her audience and their desire to feel like adults. Notice, however (if I remember correctly), that the children drink in a controlled and monitored environment. In which case, it would be legal even in the US (i.e., a minor can have a drink under the supervision of their legal guardian).

Now I'm not advocating teens getting drunk, but I am saying, "Lighten up, OP."
