When you're out partying it up tonight, take a moment to pour a little something out for Millie. That's Emma Watson's hamster.

The actress was accepting the British Artist of the Year award earlier this week in L.A. when she told a story about the hamster that died of a heart attack during the filming of the first Harry Potter film.  Not sure how you can tell a hamster has suffered a heart attack, but she continued: 


"So the set decorators built a small mahogany hamster-sized coffin. It had a velvet lining and a silver plaque on the front, which had Millie’s name engraved on it ... what I am trying to say is that you are all very special to me."

Watson was, of course, making a point about the way people were cool to her while she was basically growing up on film sets, but all I can think is that Emma Watson can make even a coffin sound cute. A tiny, little, adorable coffin.
