I love it when 15-year-old girls put on Snoopy shirts and illegally drink beer in front of the camera. Especially when they’re fancy schmancy actresses who play Hermione in Harry Potter movies. It’s a pretty specific love, but it’s a deep one.

I’m sure she’s responsible enough compared to the legal Paris Hilton socialites running around.

I am pretty fricken speechless right now.

Who would want to hang out at a club where there’s a bunch of drunk 15 yr olds? Btw, are you sure this isn’t a picture of a 15 yr old boy?
shortstuff | February 28, 2006 at 5:38 pm
Thats awesome… more corrupted hollywood youth
rachel | February 28, 2006 at 5:38 pm
AND WHERE ARE HER PARENTS?????
Ez-EEEE | February 28, 2006 at 5:40 pm
i think shes just posing for the camera. like when we were little and we used to play on the play ground with candy cigarettes in our mouths. and then we got candy cancer. and our moms gave us vegetable radiation therapy. or maybe im the only one who took it that far.
Evil Kao Chiu | February 28, 2006 at 5:41 pm
In Britain, you can serve alcohol with food to anyone 14 years old or above, although they can’t order it themselves. It looks like she isn’t in a club so much as a restaurant (check out the place settings). Providing there’s an adult with her to buy the drink, it ain’t unlawful.
So we don’t actually know that she’s having an illicit booze-up…
Evil Kao Chiu | February 28, 2006 at 5:42 pm
“AND WHERE ARE HER PARENTS?????”
Off camera to the left, perhaps?
Richard Gadsden | February 28, 2006 at 5:46 pm
Assuming that’s in England, where she comes from, that’s probably legal.
If she’s over 14 (yes), it’s with food (yes – see the knives and forks on the table) and it was bought by an over 18-year-old (presumably), then it’s legit.
Incidentally, the basic age requirement to buy your own in England is 18, not 21 like in the US.
For all the oh-so-superior Brits who are going to slag me off for saying “England” – the law is different in Scotland, suckers!
thisone | February 28, 2006 at 5:46 pm
Urrr, maybe they aren’t as strict in England? As for posing… that girl is drunk. Her face is all pink – like when you are drunk. Ahh, Hermione.
Jayne | February 28, 2006 at 5:46 pm
Most European children know how to handle their alcohol and are introduced to it at an earlier age.
American kids go off the wall with a bottle of Mike’s Lemonade the minute they sneak it from their fridge.
But I don’t see how this is shocking or anything.
antisocial | February 28, 2006 at 5:46 pm
It doesn’t surprise me, teens drink there is no possible way of stopping it from happening.
Kevin | February 28, 2006 at 5:47 pm
If she is drinking at all (I think it’s posed like #6 says), she’s only drinking Corona, which, like shagging in a canoe, is fucking close to water.
hilary | February 28, 2006 at 5:47 pm
she is such a great role model.
oh yeah
MKOh8sMischka | February 28, 2006 at 5:49 pm
I don’t care about that she’s drinking. When she gets drunk and pukes on Daniel Radcliffe’s crotch, then we’re in business.
MeganHarris | February 28, 2006 at 5:49 pm
Haha! She is soooo busted!
Or, she just might be joking around, it doesn’t even look like she’s drinking it.
azcoyote | February 28, 2006 at 5:50 pm
Well, she is British. I guess the teeth don’t go south until somewhere past 18 then… Hmm… Interesting phenomenon. But I digress…
What is scary, is she is probably more well adjusted than the 15 year olds drinking in your town (insert name here).
Seriously, though. I don’t begrudge her the booze. Britain has long waited for their very own “Drew Barrymore”. Maybe she is just ready to start shedding that little girl image. Ditching Snoopy would help but then the irony would not be so sweet. And we all know them Brits love their irony…
Yep. This is a child star on the move. Look for her to start the snorting crank and spending some quality time with Rod (no I don’t mean the Potter character). Then later in life comes the book and the movie special about how Potter ruined her life. I can see it now…
“I felt so one dimensional…”
Hello! Your British!! Have a spot of tea and a bisquit and settle down now.
Jolly good show, Hermione. Jolly good show.
Jayne | February 28, 2006 at 5:51 pm
>>#14
she is such a great role model.
oh yeah <<
Anyone who looks up to a 15 year old celebrity as a role model has self esteem issues and needs a swift back hand to the face.
An 11 year old should concentrate on learning her nouns, not opening up the Teen Bop magazine.
nichole | February 28, 2006 at 5:56 pm
Well I was pretty f’in shocked, but then I realized she is British but at the same time I thought about Drew Barrymore. No one wants to go through what she went through at such a young age!
But then again, she is British. AND, so many of us, American and British etc, have been drinking since our early teens (or earlier!!) and have turned out fine and non-alcoholics.
That wouldn’t be me though. I didn’t start drinking until college :D
laetitia | February 28, 2006 at 5:58 pm
it’s Britain. She is allowed to drink. And even so, why is drinking that wrong? If it isn’t excessive, why not? If people learn how to handle at a young age, less problems will come of it later on. I was drinking at 14, not a lot (and not corona) and it never hurt anyone.
Spindoc | February 28, 2006 at 5:58 pm
She’s British, I’m not sure what the drinking age is there, but I’m sure that it’s not as big a deal for a younger teen like her to be drinking. Dammit, I feel dirty, I didn’t mock a young celeb. Siiiigh, hey Superficial…can you post something about Tara Reid so I can rip on her and make up for this serious post?

She’s well on her way and I’m glad to see she’s getting a bit of a head start.
SumLikeitHoTT | February 28, 2006 at 6:04 pm
OKay All u fiNE young AmericanS…in EurOpe, Canada, & pretty much every other country thats not getting tips from america…its truely not that big of a deal,plus im pretty sure some of you were hitting up those beer pong tables before you were outta high school….
Haroof | February 28, 2006 at 6:06 pm
When are those boobiez gonna grow in?
I’m losing patience.
azcoyote | February 28, 2006 at 6:09 pm
I mean that in the most satirical of ways BTW. That is for all you Poms out there that just broke out in a huff, called your Mum to complain, and suddenly wondered how come that fat American Sepo had the gall to mention the teeth thing… LMAO
BTW – I agree with everyone that this is posed and even if it isn’t, it could hardly matter. Europeans are far superior at teaching their kids about booze in most cases and the laws are such that she could get shnockered at dinner with her parents without any legal issue. If this is all Britain can muster, I think we shall safely hold the “Skank Queen” crown for at least another 5 years. Well, 5 years or until Paris Hilton’s vagina spontaneously combusts killing a small tribe of undocumented pigmies who lived in her nether-regions.
Again, I digress… As far as the beer goes, Corona? YUCK! Get that girl a Boddington’s. ASAP!!
shabbyk | February 28, 2006 at 6:17 pm
I know her, in passing. She drinks a bit and um, gets around, but she’s ok, that’s what people our age do, you know?
fblau | February 28, 2006 at 6:19 pm
“Most European children know how to handle their alcohol and are introduced to it at an earlier age.”
Hahahahaha… I love it when Eurotrash spews this myth.
I NEVER saw so much alcohol abuse by young adults as I did in Europe. Not to mention the smoking too.
Foxbase Alpha | February 28, 2006 at 6:19 pm
She’s doing research for her next film:
“Harry Bladder Buster And The Commode Of Vomit”
Praz | February 28, 2006 at 6:41 pm
18+ clubs are bad enough; when I go out, I don’t want to see a bunch of kids.
kroft | February 28, 2006 at 6:47 pm
As an American, I have to say many of my favorite beers are British brands/types. For an English actress to be drinking beer that is pretty much equivalent to Mexicans pissing in a bottle and selling it..well I find that very disturbing. No offense meant to Mexicans, or people who enjoy pissing in bottles, or people who enjoy drinking piss from bottles. It’s just not something I find enjoyable.
Jayne | February 28, 2006 at 6:50 pm
“I NEVER saw so much alcohol abuse by young adults as I did in Europe. Not to mention the smoking too.”
omfg NEVER?
ever?
Mozy on over to Illinois and take a gander.
It’s lovely.
Because everyone is in denial <3
I feel sad by being called Eurotrash yet a little naughty.
I suppose I’ve been fortunate enough to meet people my age who know when to put the bottle down and stop brawling over hash.
BadassFred | February 28, 2006 at 6:53 pm
I’m not that shocked. Authorities and club owners look the other way when young celebs drink. A lot of teens experiment with alcohol and if you’ve got loads of cash at your disposal AND people will let you buy the stuff…Well, like I said, I’m not shocked.
I’m sure people are going to make a huge deal of this though because OMG!!111 THOS EPOOR KIDS THAT LOOK UP 2 HER1!111
HughJorganthethird | February 28, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Relax folks she’s not actually drinking, it’s a Corona for fucks sake. It’s not like she’s doing Tequila body shots with her 15 year old friends.
heh heh
MeganHarris | February 28, 2006 at 7:07 pm
Oh, and speaking of underage drinking, Paris Hilton’s boyfriend is 19, and he parties with her.
http://uslessthings.blogspot.com/2006/02/pariss-boy-gets-people-in-trouble.html
LoneWolf | February 28, 2006 at 7:10 pm
I don’t think it’s hers. Go back and look at the pic. She’s at the end of the table and there’s already a drink at her place setting. It looks like a staged shot. Typical kid – goofing around for the shock value. Kind of quaint, really.
Hurry up and do another Paris Hilton post, dammit – I’ve got a joke all lined up.
spacca | February 28, 2006 at 7:14 pm
this is not underage!
I LIVE IN THE UK AND UNDER CONSENT BY PARENT OR GUARDIAN A CHILD IS ALLOWED TO DRINK ALCOHOL FROM AGE 5.
PURCHASE HOWEVER IS 18, BUT MOST PUBS DON’T REALLY SET LAW.
billabong021 | February 28, 2006 at 7:24 pm
*starts picking up used tissues off floor* is thata corona?
downshine | February 28, 2006 at 7:27 pm
i’m speechless…this is too funny
suzy | February 28, 2006 at 7:28 pm
well, she’s 16 years old and 2 years away from the legal age to drink in england, right??
and we’re complaining about her when we have celebrities, i.e. Lindsay lohan etc who are 19 and 2 years away from the legal age as well…
how they get away with it is beyond me… but i like Emma Watson. I hope this was only a pose or a magic trick lol..
she’s growing up:

Brian | February 28, 2006 at 7:31 pm
Check it out, there’s no booze in the neck of the bottle, she’s not actually drinking in that picture. It could just be something silly the photographer asked her to pose as. She might hate the taste even and the look on her face is just one from laughing at herself inside how she must look doing something she wouldn’t actually do. You shouldn’t take photos out of context unless you’ve got a real story to go with it.
bluebanta | February 28, 2006 at 7:34 pm
In Europe the Legal Drinking Age is 15. She is 15 years old, thats why she is drinking.
Dee | February 28, 2006 at 7:38 pm
She’s not much younger then Lindsey Lohan, who drinks seven days a week.

“If people learn how to handle at a young age, less problems will come of it later on.”
That’s not what the stats say. But hey, sounds like you’re in your own little world. Doesn’t really matter.

Whoops. Placed that comment in the wrong section.
Maeve97 | February 28, 2006 at 7:56 pm
Really, who cares? I was drinking at 15 too. Why is it any different because this chick is in movies? It just means that she can afford better beer, whereas I got stuck drinking skunked Milwaukee’s best.
Lankey Limey | February 28, 2006 at 8:29 pm
What is the problem?
It’s perfectly legal for anyone over 14 to drink beer or cider in a
restaurant/pub in England, as long as it’s with food and bought by an
adult.
She’s over 14? Tick.
She’s drinking beer or cider? Tick.
She’s in a restaurant? Tick.
She’s having food? Almost certainly – she is seated at a set table with
other people.
It’s in England? The W.C. on the toilet door suggests so. As far as I
know no other country has “Water Closets”.
It was bought by an adult? Who knows, but there are clearly other
people at the table with her.
In conclusion, it’s legal, what’s the problem?
