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.

Rita is one of the characters that I most looking forward to seeing in this new movie. I think that she'll have done a really good job, and I hope that they ask her back for the OoTP!

Well, whether or not she's a great Rita, which I'm sure she is, I really hope they don't replace ANY actors for the last three movies - that would be really, really weird.

I hope she comes back for OoTP. I just like it when series keep the same actors throughout when there's no reason not to.

Okay, she's so awesome and I can't wait to see her as Rita! This is going be sooo great. Of course they have to ask her back for OotP - well, maybe I shouldn't say that until I've seen GOF... but still, I love Miranda.

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?

I think they'll definately bring her back for OOTP. She makes Rita Skeeter look so sharp and actually likeable. Can't wait to see her performance.

Well she was good at Blac kAdder - a tv series I love very much! she played a few roles in the series. I liked her in Phantom of the Opera- and almost didn't recognize her. I hope she plays Rita quite well. I don't know if Dame Edna would have been good at the role. In spite of her sarcasm, Dame Edna is lovavble - well I love watching her.

She does kinda look like Vivien Westwood in her role. It suits her well. I can't wait to see her scenes in the movie! I just hope that Warner Bros. won't go looking for another Rita in the upcoming HP movies.

She's a great actress and as i've seen from all the trailers and clips a great Rita Skeeter. I hope they ask her to play the role in the 5th. That would be great.

I saw her in that clip. She's FABULOUS! They'd better ask her back! She's got the right evilness that makes you love to hate her. Maybe not as much as Umbrige, but pretty darn close.
