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.

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.

That's a good interview, I can't wait to see how she plays Rita in the movie because her character is very complex and coniving. Hmmm....Interesting! November 18th!!!

I saw the movie at the premiere and it was really good. Rita was so good. She was really annoying. I really wanted to slap her, she was so good!

Cool interview! From what I have seen from clips on t.v. and pictures she looks like a great Rita, so I really hope they bring her back for the 5th one, it wouldn't be right!!

I think Miranda will be really good in the film and Im sure that they will ask her back for OoTP because it will be better to keep the same cast, rather than changing it.
Cant wait for GOF! 2 days to go!

She really looks like the Rita Skeeter that I had in mind. Less than two days to go until the movie comes out. Be patient everyone.

Heh.
I dunno - she wasn't really that significant in the fifth film - just mainly in the fourth. She seems like a funny person, so it wouldn't be that bad bringing in some humour in the next, since --- is gonna snuff it...

I am glad they picked her for the roll and she seems very enthusiastic about it. I can't wait till Friday to see how she portrays Rita. So far the clips I've seen of her as Rita look awesome!

I would be very disappointed if they had a different actress for her part, for any part as a matter of fact. i dont like it when they're changed, but i can understand if its something death-related like it was with dumbledore's actor.

She's not really that imp. past that book. I mean, she is in the later ones, but not that much or anything. But she does look the part. At least the pics I have seen make her look the part.
In my head anyways.
