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 know she's going to be great in this role. She certainly looks the part, and wouldn't it be fun to play Rita? Happy New Year everybody...remember we have GOF coming up!

Oh my goodness! How startling! She looks like the spitting image of my seventh grade English teacher, and the thing about my teacher was that I adored her. I certainly was not expecting Rita Skeeter this way, but maybe it shall make me like her more.

Great picture - and what a fun role! I pictured her with red hair and not quite so attractive. In my imagination she was a bit more bone-y (skinny and mosquito-ish.)I do think that she fits the part, though.

That is EXACTLY how I pictured Rita. It's like... they opened my brain and scooped out Miranda Richardson. I am astonished.

Let me be the one to argue, but she's supposed to have dark hair...at least for me.
::Sigh::

She is not as nasty looking as I imagined her. Maybe I am expecting more of someone to look like how Mary GrandPre had illustrated her in Scholastic books.
But she might do good for the part in the movie. We will just wait and see if she is really nasty as she was in the book.
