| | |  Rita Skeeter in GoF
Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter) gave an interview last night at the premiere of The League Of Gentleman's Apocalypse. She talked about her role as Rita and commented on the three leading actors. Quote:
"I enjoyed the books enormously," she told FilmFocus, "but Rita reads rather differently than how I played her. She reads more, to me, like Dame Edna. And there's no way I'm going to do Dame Edna. So it's a different twist on the character."
Quote:
Richardson told us that the biggest thrill of the Harry Potter experience was working with her young co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
"They're cool," she told us, "they're very grounded. They put me to shame, really, they're much more grown up than me. They're not fazed by all the trappings of stardom and, I think, very keen to be seen as true professionals. They want to carry on in the profession and do other big work."
A picture of Miranda at last nights premiere, can be seen here.

I never imagined Rita to be like Edna Everage (who's a comedic cross-dresser for all who don't know). Maybe in the patronising way she speaks, but not in any other way. Rita's evil and Edna isn't so I'm glad she's not copying the dame!

 Maybe. I can see how she may come across as a cross-dresser, because Rita does wear loads of make-up and has the same fashion sense as Edna - the crocodile bag and the nails. I wouldn't describe Rita as manly though. Just goes to show how many different ways HP can be interpreted. But judgign from the pictures we've seen of Rita, I'm not worried at all, Miranda will be perfect.

I never imagined her to be like Dame Edna either, as Dame Edna is so outgoing and rather funny! Whereas Rita Skeeter isnt lol

I imagined Madame Maxime to be like the Grand High Witch ... in appearance that is.
At least we know she ISN'T going down the Edna road. PHEW.

Wow, hearing that the trio is grounded is really cool. It's really good to know that they're not letting the fame get to their heads.

Heh. She looks so much different out of costume! And I love how speaks about the trio. And it's quite funny because it was just in another thread where someone said Emma let fame get to her head and Miranda says this. Just thought that was funny. | |

nods, I was kinda assuming that she was refering to dame edna's voice and speech. that and when i read it, it was almost 3 am, and therefore very amusing to me ;P

thats nice of her to say that the trio are "cool" so many people say that they are nice im begining to wonder is the trio paying off people to say that they are nice or are they really? 'he he just kidding i know that they are awesome!'
