Miranda Richardson has revealed that she will be bringing a new interpretation to the character of Daily Prophet journalist Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Richardson (The Phantom of the Opera; The Hours) told Film Focus: "I enjoyed the books enormously, 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."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth adaptation in the series, is scheduled for a November 18 release.
