Miranda Richardson, Rita Skeeter, from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire recently discussed her role in the movie, commenting that she turned Skeeter into a garishly power-suited vamp, "Vivienne Westwood revisited, with a slightly bubbly perm." She also spoke about working with director Mike Newell again and whether she will return for Order of the Phoenix.
On returning for Order of the Phoenix:
Well, they like a bit of novelty in the films, so I'm not convinced they're gonna ask me back. I don't know.

She sounds good, like she knows what's going on in the books and she appreciates all the aspects of the movies. In the few clips we've seen of her on TV and on the internet, she seems perfect for the part.

I think Miranda Richardson was a good choice for Rita Skeeter, she looks like the type to be sneaky with her blond hair!

Even though I have never seen her act, or know if she's a good actress, I hope they ask her to stay. It's so much better with all the original actors.

I think she will be a good Rita Skeeter! I hope they ask her back for OotP, because if they changed here it would be weird. I don't like it when they change actors.

I really like Miranda Richardson. She's such a competent actress. I'm very excited to see her as Rita on the big screen, in all her obnoxious glory. ;-)

I have seen a few other movies with Miranda Richardson in them, she did such a fantastic job! I want to see how she plays the role as Rita Skeeter.

Vivian Westwood revisited? I do have to say that is true. She looks like she plays a good Rita Skeeter. I do wonder if they will ask her to return. I hope she does.

Yeah, well, I think she made her a bit TOO MUCH of a vamp!... - I mean, in my opinion, she really exaggerated on the "vamp" side!!...
Oh, well... I guess her acting is compensating for this!

Miranda's portion of the movie was severely inhibited, I'm assuming because of time restraints. I feel that it would have been better for her to be included more, or removed all together. INCLUDED MORE! That's my vote anyway.

I wish they had the ending of the book. Thats where Hermionie catched Rite as the bug form and Draco gets cursed by George, Fred, Harry, Ron, Ginny etc...

Miranda is so fabulous. To this day she still has my shrieking "Off with everybodies head!". She was the best Queen of Hearts Wonderland ever saw. She is such an amazing actor, and so flexible and versatile. There is nothing she cannot do. I love that she played Rita Skeeter.
