It's been such an important part of all of our lives that I don't think any of us will ever forget it, or ever leave Harry Potter behind - the memories are too strong for all of us.

Emma Watson was eleven years old during the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and often brought her pet hamster, Millie, to the set. She remembers sitting for hair and makeup while Millie squirmed around in her lap - noting that the hair and makeup artists were "very patient" with her. Sadly, Millie passed away soon after production began, and Emma was understandably devastated. News of the tragedy spread quickly through the crew, and Emma remembers fondly that the set department created a special hamster-sized coffin for her pet. The coffin had "a velvet lining and Millie engraved on the top," she recalls. "I don't think a hamster has ever had a better send-off."

When I was much younger, I was often asked in what ways I thought I was similar to Ron. My stock answer usually included something similar to: "I like sweets, I'm scared of spiders, I've got ginger hair" or "I come from a big family." But, the truth is that Ron is my hero. He's always there for his friends - sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless. He's also the comic relief in stressful situations; the funny guy with a great one-liner. And no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage.
