== Personality ==
Rita Skeeter is a self-absorbed, narcissistic woman who is determined to embellish the truth and twist it in her own image. This is evident when she created a false article that claimed hermione was playing both Viktor Krum, as this shows he doesn't care whose reputation she hurts. This is evident when she published an article that revealed Hagrid's half giant heritage. She even called Harry a twelve year old boy in her interviews with the champions for the Tri-Wizard Tournament despite Harry continuously pointing out he was fourteen. Rita is nosy as well, harassing the students on Hogwarts so much, Dumbledore banned her off the school grounds and drove her to form a partnership with Draco Malfoy while using her animagus in the form of a beetle to spy on others. She is also determined to get as much dirt as she can on her enemies, even going as far to using veritaserum on an unsuspecting Bathinda Bagshot to obtain information on her "biography" of the late Albus Dumbledore. However, Rita is not outright evil, as she was genuinely shocked upon hearing Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater in Goblet of Fire.
