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 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.

That's cool. THe movie's going to be really good. And I think Rita Skeeter has some sort of important part in the next few books.

She looks great, although I didn't imagine her as a blond. I really hope they go back to the old vision of the Hogwarts grounds. I really didn't like the mountain side in POA.

I love Miranda's description of Rita. It's right on. Rita's so nasty. I also like what Newell says about the 4th book. I really hope he gets this movie "right"

The only thing I didn't expect is the blonde hair.
I need to re-read the 4th book again.
Other than that she is perfect for the part.!!

She looks exactly like I imagined except for the hair. I always thought Rita Skeeter seemed like a red-haired person. And "Rupert Baby," I have been dying to see the Phantom of the Opera but it hasn't come to my home town yet. I hope it's good!

I'm excited to see Richardson play Skeeter in GoF. She's a really good actress.
I recently watched Miranda Richardson in the "Phantom of the Opera" movie and thought that she was fabulous in her role, the madame. And watch "Phantom," it's so good!

I'm sure that she will play Rita soooo well that we will hate her more in the movie than in the books!
Hahahaha!
Anyway, I can't wait until the movie comes out.

Wow I really like the way that she looks. That is just what I thought that she would look. I think this movie is going to be great. 2005 is going to be great. A Harry Potter book and movie in one year. I'm so happy.

This is so cool. I need to get the Premiere magazine. I prefer Entertainment Weekly better, but... Well you know. Gotta read the article though I read it here it feels more official reading in the mag. I must sound stupid.
