Emma Watson dedicates Britannia Award to dead hamster

Emma Watson delivered an odd but touching tribute to a hamster that died on the Harry Potter set while accepting her Britannia Award.

The actress - who played Hermione Granger in the eight-part movie series - dedicated her British Artist of the Year award to Millie, an on-set hamster who had a heart attack during shooting of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.




The 24-year-old explained how the set decorators built a small, mahogany coffin with a velvet lining and an engraved silver plaque for Millie.


"What I'm trying to say is that you're all very special to me and that your vote of confidence means a lot," Watson said to the audience, which consisted of stars including Robert Downey Jr and Dame Judi Dench who both won awards.

"I take it as such a great honour that you're giving me this award tonight. Thank you very, very much and rest in peace Millie, this one's for you," she concluded.

Other winners at this year's ceremony were Mike Leigh with the directing award, Veep actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus for excellence in comedy and Mark Ruffalo who collected the humanitarian award.
