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.

Well, I will reserve my opinion on how good she has done with the role, but I hope they don't cut too much out of OotP...

Miranda Richardson is so pretty! She was great in Phantom of the Opera and Merlin! I don't think they're going to ask her back to GoF, they probably would have done it already. I don't think they'll replace her either, it's just the script and stuff is already written isn't it?

Well, Miranda Richardson was FABULOUS in Phantom of the Opera, so I'm going to assume she'll be fantabulous in GoF!

I hope they will ask her to return, anything else would be stupid. She's the Rita, and it would be stupid to change it in the new film.

I think she is going to be my favorite new character in this movie, not either of the Crouchs, Karkaroff, or Madame Maxime... she is just too perfect!

Cool! I love Miranda Richardson for her Queenie Role- Die hard Blackadder fan here!- but if they don't call her back, it would be a crime to womankind. I jumped for joy when I found out about her playing Rita- so I'm really happy!

I think she is going to do a great job playing Rita! I don't like her already from the clips that I have seen her in! I hope they bring her back for the 5th movie... It would be dumb not to! I can't wait for GoF... I'm soooo excited! Accio November 18th!

Rita Skeeter didn't exactly have a huge part in OOTP, so I wouldn't be surprised if they cut her from it...I hope they don't, but who knows!

Miranda Richardson is amazing. She's gonna be great as Rita and they've got to have her back for OotP! ... Although they just might cut her, coz the left out the whole Rita-as-animagus, but it would suck to have her gone. BTW, anyone remember her in the spoof "Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azibaijan?" hahaha

Her scenes should be really good. I always want to play the weird roles in school plays or the baddie. Playing the good character is nice but being the baddie is more fun! I'd like to play Mrs Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, it'd be really funny!

I cannot STAND Rita Skeeter! Now when I see Miranda Richardson, all I can think of is that back-stabbing good-for-nothing journalist. Pity.
