New Interview with Miranda Richardson

The Times newspaper has a new interview with actress Miranda Richardson, who plays Rita Skeeter in Goblet of Fire. While she notes she does not know if she will be back for future Potter films, she does have great enthusiasm for her role now in the Harry Potter world.

“It’s sort of irresistible to be part of this great leviathan that is Harry Potter… “The sense is it’s part of history, and for that reason it’s great. “As it would have been to be part of The Lord of the Rings. And I like the fact that kids everywhere are clutching a hardback book to their chests and huddling off into corners, getting absorbed in a new world. It’s not all about looking at a screen, using their thumbs.”
