RITA SKEETER

Rita Skeeter is, for a while, a huge thorn in Harry Potter's side. Once a 'journalist' for the Daily Prophet, she specializes in writing tabloid spectacles with the aid of her Quick-Quotes Quill, which basically twists and sensationalizes everything the interviewee says (and even fabricating things they never said). With elaborately set curls, jeweled glasses, penciled eyebrows and remarkably long red nails on her mannish hands, everything about Rita is fake. When Harry is selected a Triwizard Champion, Rita is all over it, writing report after report about Harry and his past, while all but ignoring the other competitors. Even when Dumbledore banishes her from the Hogwarts premises, she manages to get dirt on practically everyone. She eventually ends up slandering Hermione and Hagrid, and jeopardizes Hagrid's career at Hogwarts. However, clever Hermione prevailed, deducing that Rita is in fact an unregistered (and therefore illegal) animagus, transforming into a small beetle. It is in this form that she found out so many secrets. Rita was blackmailed into silence and resignation for awhile, until Hermione asked (or told, rather) her to conduct an interview with Harry Potter to publish in the Quibbler magazine, about the return of Lord Voldemort, as the Daily Prophet wouldn't print it.

"Rita Skeeter's smile widened. Harry counted three gold teeth. She reached again into her crocodile bag and drew out a long acid-green quill and a roll of parchment, which she stretched out between them on a crate of Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover. GoF, pg 304
