Well, the butterbeer is certainly less alcoholic than the firewhiskey. (Hermione gets all "You. Are. A. PREFECT!" when Ron considers seeing if they can get served firewhiskey, but there isn't any problem with them drinking butterbeer.)

I thought of it as shandy-likt (half lager, half lemonade), which children drink all the time in England. Yes, it has alcohol, but a negligible amount

That's kind of what I was imagining. ETA: Now I want a shandy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What's everybody's fic wishlist then?

We've already seen desire for:

Neville, Ginny & Luna at Hogwarts during DH
Harry, Ron & Hermione returning for their 7th year
Dudley's daughter Petunia going to Hogwarts with Lilly

What else?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I want to read Luna's blog.

I want to see George getting on with life without Fred.

Because I like pain, evidently.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Remus and Sirius, romping around in the afterlife. Or hell, any sort of fix-it fic with Remus, Sirius, and/or Tonks. Those are the deaths I think I'm least satisfied with.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Fred ghosting it up at Hogwarts.

And then moving on when George dies... rules, more like guidelines really
