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."

Oh, another picture from GoF! I'm actually happy with the way she looks. And belive me I'm SO picky. I hated PoA becuase it was so diffrent from the book. And i'm so nervous about GoF becuase it's my favriote book with the best story line and I really don't want them to mess this up :/
you know you love me,

Not bad, not bad at all. I had thought that Rita Skeeter was much younger, but I guess she isn't after all.

I didn't know who was playing Rita, this is great. Although, for some reason, I always pictured Rita Skeeter as having brown hair. Isn't that what it said in the book? I'll have to go reread GoF...or at least that chapter.

Well, in GoF, they have a picture of her, long nails, glasses, and you can't really tell what color her hair is.

I never pictured her as a blonde, but I think she'll make a good Skeeter. I wonder if Rowling meant any significance behind Rita's last name- "skeeter" is slang for mosquito in the south east US.

She doesn't really look the way I imagined, but she looks the way I expected. Does that make sense? A lot will depend on how Rita-ish she acts. I think Miranda Richardson will do very well.

Oh My God! She looks FANTASTIC as Rita Skeeter. The only think different from how I imagined her is that I always pictured her with red hair. Don't know why either, ahaha.
