The current issue of Premiere magazine has published the first picture we’ve seen of Miranda Richardson
in costume as Rita Skeeter from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which is currently filming.
According to the article courtesy of MuggleNet:
Another year at Hogwarts, another director charge. As the first Englishman to direct a Potter flick, Mike Newell brings his own school days to bear as Harry faces not only his own fire-breathing dragons in the Triwizard Tournament but also his greatest challenge yet - the resurrection of Voldemort.
"This story is about the return of the being of evil," says Newell. "Harry is the vital ingredient for the potion which will bring Voldemort back." Like He-Who-Must Not-Be-Named, Daily Prophet hack Rita Skeeter makes her first appearance in this fourth installment of the series.
"She's completely brash and completely hateful," says Richardson, who likens Skeeter to 1930s gossip queen Hedda Hopper. "She's written the deal before she even gets there, really."

I would have thought Rita Skeeter to be more a brunette. And look more, flamboyant, with definitely a lot more height on Harry. But, I like seeing more pictures from GoF!

She's not exactly what i pictured. but at least they found someone so they can get on with the filming and i can finally see draco. *deep breath* she's seems decent enough to fit the spot, i guess.

Wow I just looked at the picture and she completely fits the part. We have been so lucky that not only are so many talented actors/actresses are willing to take part in the films, but also that they are as talented and right for the parts as they are. Thank god for those british actors, thats all I have to say!

Okay..I don't know who Miranda Richardson is, but oh well. She looks good as Rita Skeeter. Though, I pictured Rita to be either black or red haired. Oh well she'll do a fine job as all the other actors do..
Happy New Year

Awesome! She looks pretty much like I imagine Rita except for her blond hair ... I think it would have looked cooler were she a redhead. :-) I wonder if they're working the Quick-Quotes Quill into the story too? That'll make for some laughs!

I can't wait to see Goblet of Fire. She is not how i imagined her at all! However Miranda Richarson looks like she will make a good Rita skeeter.
