While she is setting up the interview, Ron wonders how she got there – hadn't she been banned from Hogwarts? She actually wants to pump Hagrid for information about Harry for another scurrilous story, although Hagrid refuses to say anything negative about him. Skeeter later interviews Hagrid, supposedly for an article about the Blast-Ended Skrewts. Harry provides her with one: "Goodbye." At some point after the first task, Albus Dumbledore had banned Rita from entering Hogwarts Castle. Harry suggests she is there to watch the first task.įollowing the First Task, as Harry returns to the Castle with Ron, she appears from behind a bush in the Forbidden Forest, asking Harry for a word. It appears she is staying in the village. Hermione thinks he can remove the cloak without being bothered, but Harry points out that Rita Skeeter and her photographer just left the Three Broomsticks. Hermione protests but agrees, and once in Hogsmeade, Harry is delighted he can travel without people hurling snide remarks. Harry vetoes that particular idea, and will only go under his Invisibility Cloak. When pressed, she admits she is hoping to meet up with Ron in the Three Broomsticks. Hermione suggests going to the next Hogsmeade weekend. I'm not ashamed to admit it." Harry is both troubled and embarrassed by these erroneous statements. However, her 'Quick-Quotes Quill' fabricates many of his supposed comments, such as, "Sometimes at night I still cry about them. When the Goblet of Fire selects Harry as a Triwizard Champion, Skeeter interviews him at the Wand Weighing ceremony. While we are told the story has been published, we hear nothing else about it. Molly Weasley, reading this, comments that Rita's stories always contain fabrications and should not be believed.Ī week later, Ludo Bagman mentions that Rita has heard about Bertha Jorkins' disappearance, and she soon writes a story about it. Rita's story, appearing in The Daily Prophet, over-sensationalizes events, and includes some inventions such as supposed dead people being removed from the forest after the Dark Mark appeared. Rita Skeeter is first mentioned after the Quidditch World Cup, where the Muggles in charge of the campsite are attacked by Death Eaters. Her stories have appeared in The Daily Prophet, Witch Weekly, and, when blackmailed by Hermione Granger, The Quibbler – this last publication does not pay for stories. Her recording tool is a green "Quick-Quotes Quill" that she apparently likes the taste of.
Rita Skeeter is a free-lance journalist specializing in writing poison-pen stories based on false information and misreported interviews.
