I loved her character. Everything said with a purrrrr.... Miranda Richardson
was able to communicate to better effect with her eyebrows and overall body
language than anyone I think I have seen in the Potter films. I also enjoyed
the entire kind of archaic presentation she had that seemed to hark back a
bit to the old "hard bitten girl reporter"; a kind of Wizarding World,
British, Dorothy Parker. Her outfits (even the dragon scaled one) were
modeled off of the old women's suits of the golded era, as was her coif. But
it was all slightly fudged to this fantasy/non-established modern look too,
especially when combined with her photographer who looked like some gaffer
they pulled off the set! I loved it.
