The current issue of Premiere has a first look at Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

This picture is of a scene BEFORE the first task. Also, you will notice her appearance has stayed extremely close to the book - in particular the nails, the glasses, the dragonhide robe and the sleeve-horns.

Here's a quote from the article:

Quote:

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.

This exciting new image was preceeded by two others, just over a week ago, which were of Harry & Ron in their dress robes and the other of Harry & Hermione in the tent before the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Those photos can be found here.

I really liked her.
But wasn't she supposed to be wearing acid green robes or something like that?

I thought she'd be older than that actually. I mean, she's at least a few years older than Harry's parents, right?

i didnt picture her that way but oh well

01-09-2005, 01:54 AM

hmm, i never pictured her to look like that, with brown hair with blonde highlights or somethign...

Firebolt7 · 01-09-2005, 03:35 PM

I didn't exactly picture her like that, I thought she would have shorter, straighter hair.(I think I pictured her hair to be red o_0) But that's plenty good for me.

Wonderstruck · 01-09-2005, 05:18 PM

Wow! She looks different than I imagined. I thought she'd be shorter, and more...whats the word....annoying looking? lol. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post on the board yet, because I'm still a newbie, but I think I can. I need to read the FAQ. Sorry if I can't post.

when i saw the picture of the actress playing rita skeeter i thought she wouuld look more fierce and mean among other things.

hpfan5 · 01-09-2005, 11:20 PM

so did i! when i saw she was blonde i thought maybe i didn't rememeber and just thought she was red headed. well more of like brownish red.

[QUOTE=Marcella_Riddle]Well, she's just like she's described in the book, so I don`t see how anyone could be disappointed with the look of the character. Other than perhaps the hair, I can`t remember what colour it was said to be in the books, but I always imagined it to be red.[QUOTE=Marcella_Riddle]

I think she looks just as I had envisioned her too. I am soo excited about this movie. GOF rocks. Great pics.

01-10-2005, 04:42 AM

i didnt think of her to look like that. i always thought she had brownish hair.

01-10-2005, 11:36 AM

I always thought she'd be a bit more round....and more like her beetle couterpart.

01-10-2005, 12:54 PM

I think Miranda Richardson will make a good Rita. Although I pictured her with a brownish/red type of hair color.

01-10-2005, 12:54 PM

did you see her ugly long nails and the nail polish bleh
lol
I thought Rita would look differently then that but oh well..

phoenixtears489 · 01-11-2005, 10:22 PM

I imagined her more brunnette than that....

And really high cheekbones for some reason

hermione-weasly · 01-11-2005, 11:12 PM

she looks like a proffesor i think its when she is going 2 wright about harry and hermione in love by the look and hermiones face

01-12-2005, 04:28 AM

Wow! That's cool, but I thought Rita would be a brunette since that what her picture looked like in the book. Other than that they have her pegged with the nails, hair, glasses, and her whole appearance.
