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."

She looks different from the Rita I imagined but I will wait until I've seen her in action. Can't wait for its release but I guess I'll just have to be patient. More pics are off course greatly appreciated =^_^=

Wow that's not what I really imagined her looking like but it still works for me. What is Harry wearing? It's a very strange looking shirt.

Ooh...at first glance I though *hmm* She looks okay. But I did expect her hair to be more rigid as it says in the book. I just read it again last night! :D

Shoot! I was hoping to get the part. Oh well, I'm sure the movie will be good anyway. I cant wait to see how they film all those events for the tri-wizard tournament.

I think that she looks pretty close to what I had imagined. Sure the hair is a little bit lighter but already you can tell she has that nasty-meanness in her. I think she should do well in her role.

Looks good hope she lives up to the role, my two favorite characters to hate are Skeeter and Umbridge.

Perfect! Even down to the nails and glasses. Ms. Richardson is a wonderful actress and I was thrilled when I heard she was to be Rita. She is going to be great.

Wow...she's great and she's been in a ton of movies. I think she'll be great, but I kind of imagined Rita looking a little different.
