* Miranda Richardson to Play Rita Skeeter Summary:
British actress, Miranda Richardson is set to play Rita Skeeter in the upcoming Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Article:
Thanks to Mugglenet for this news Quote: *
Miranda Richardson will play the conniving journalist Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, reports The Leaky Cauldron. Richardson has been in The Hours, Sleepy Hollow (along with Harry Potter actor Michael Gambon), and The Crying Game, just to mention a few. Check out her profile here
More information about her can be found at her unofficial Website Here is a picture of the actress. Quote: Born in Lancashire, England, she has a long profile that also includes characterizations of the Queen of Hearts in the 1995 Nick Willing TV adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, as well as Queen Elizabeth in Blackadder Back & Forth. TLC also added that: Quote: Since it's already late on Friday, we don't expect official confirmation until after the weekend, but we trust the information nonetheless.
In other words, we've no been given confirmation yet but the sources saying she has the role are very reliable. Mugglenet & TLC.  | |

She has an extensive filmography, so I'm sure she'll be great for the part!

Finally she's been cast. I thought they were going to leave her out. She looks like she would be a good Rita. I loved her in Merlin as Mab.

Thanks for the info! :sorcerer: Probably in makeup and costume she'll look the part like prof. trelawney... hehe I can just imagine her looking like a ghetto witch, with the painted fingernails and jewel rimmed glasses!

Good. I'm very pleased with this. I just saw St. Ives today and liked her in it--I think she'll be a good Rita Skeeter. (much better than that really young James Bond British actress rumored to have gotten the part.)

She's not how I imagined Rita Skeeter at all. The only things I've seen her in are Merlin and Sleepy Hollow, and I'm sorry to say that I didn't like her work on either. As always, though, I will trust them to work their magic, so I'm sure she'll turn out just fine.
Happy Birthday, Dan! -I have to say this in every post today! lol | |

I just read this on Mugglenet, and I'm really excited. I think she's a great actress, and she'll make a nice Rita Skeeter.

She played Hermione already in the French and Saunders Harry Potter spoof didn't she? On Comic Relief night or something like that.

Looks suitable for Rita, her face is perfect for the role. Looks evil enough, good! Quote: Originally posted by anirihp4ever@Jul 23 2004, 11:25 PM only with dark hair!! Iīd remember she was described as a blonde in the book, if I remember correctly? Havenīt got the book here now... Anyway, my Rita is blonde, yours can be dark haired. If they can change peopleīs eye-colour (Harryīs supposed to be GREENeyed!) in movies, we have every right to change their haircolour in our minds!  My Lupin has dark-brown hair, even though heīs described to have light-brown in the book... So thatīs quite OK then 
Besides, they seem to change the haircolour in movies too: both Harry and Sirius ought to be blackhaired, according to the books

I remember her from the Prince and Me, a recent film in which she plays the queen. She's really famous over here in the UK and her face is the image of what I pictured for Rita.
It is sad though that there isn't confirmation yet, I'm crossing my fingers for her.

Yeah, Mugglenet got it from TLC who said there isn't confirmation yet. Quote: Could she play a good Dracos Mom?
What's that got to do with her being Rita Skeeter?
