Sorry, but it looks like she almost certainly isn't in it. Feel free to be with the vase-chucking.
BTW, I'm not 100% sure, but I think I heard that Mike Newell isn't directing the next film.

Thank you. *growls and goes off to the nearest wal-mart to buy vases* This bites. I mean she was in the fifth book, she should be in the fifth movie!

Indeed. If you want to cause major damage, would you like to borrow my Merlin-bashing hammer? As the name implies, its main function is causing injury to Merlin, but it can be used on anyone. It is made out of reinforced titanium and concrete. Or you can purchase a portable-angry-mob.

*passes Merlin bashing hammer to Lady of the Lake*
*Merlin heaves sigh of relief*
*I brings out portable-mob*
*Merlin flees, screaming*

Oh boy. I was just browsing mugglenet, and there I found an example of how much they really cut of the Rita-lines:
RITA SKEETER Young love. How stirring. If things go unfortunately tonight, you two may even make the front page.
HERMIONE You.
RITA SKEETER [glow=red,2,300]Oh don't even start, you silly girl. I can tell you where it'll end. [/glow]
KRUM You haff no business here. The tent is for champions. And...friends.
Everyone turns, stunned to hear Krum speak. Skeeter studies him appraisingly (as does Hermione), then smiles thinly.
RITA SKEETER No matter. We got what we wanted.
As she exits, Dumbledore enters from the opposite end. With him are Karkaroff and Madame Maxime and Barty Crouch.
DUMBLEDORE Good evening, Champions. (as they assemble) You've waited. You've wondered. And now the moment is here. A moment only you four can fully appreciate. Which begs the question: Why are you here, Miss Granger?
HERMIONE Oh. Sorry. I'll. Just. Go.
DUMBLEDORE (as she exits) Barty.
Barty Crouch steps forward with a SMALL BAG of PURPLE SILK. SMOKE weeps from the bag's SEAMS while its belly WRITHES with some sort of interior activity. Crouch seems at great pains to simply keep the bag in his hands.
BARTY CROUCH Surely it's been ... agonizing ... for you all... speculating... these many weeks as to just what it is that awaits you tonight. Within this bag lies the answer...
[glow=red,2,300]As Crouch fumbles with the bag, Rita clucks her tongue softly as she MURMURS to the phlegmatic photographer.
RITA SKEETER Oh, Barty, what a magnificent ruin you've become. And to think you almost ruled the world. Of course, that was before. Then the cookie crumbled. I'll never forget forget the day it happened. It's quite remarkable to see a man lose everything in the blink of an eye. To see him... (a hard smile) ...completely lose his grip. [/glow] As Crouch gains some dominion over the bag, he holds it out before a wary Fleur.
BARTY CROUCH Miss Delacour, if you will...
FLASH! The photographer steps forward to capture the moment and Moody is revealed, having heard Rita's every word.

I can't believe they cut all of that! Particularly those last few lines! They were brilliant!

I'm so angry she's not in the fifth because that means there is no "little miss prissy" scene. I was looking forward to seeing her call Hermione that.

Me too. 'Tis one of the greatest moments of book 5, imho.

I remember reading that scene somewhere before the film came out, and vaguely noticing that her lines had been cut down, but I'd forgotten how much. DAMN THEM ALL!!!

Was it Miranda's decision not to be in the new Harry Potter movie or was her part cut out by the director/scriptwriters?

From what she said in that mugglenet/leakycauldron interview at the premiere I would say they probably decided to not have her there. The only reason she is probably necessary in the movie is the thing about the article she writes for the Quibbler. I think it's an important part of the book that harry has his story published, and she writes it. I suppose they can just not say who wrote it, but it's unfortunate . She shouldn't be in the 6th either because the only time she shows up is at the funeral I think, and she does nothing. So I would say the 4th was her one and only appearance.

Pity. But I read somewhere that JKR said that she liked Rita way too much to not use her again. So let's hope for Deathly Hallows!

I think it'd be nice to see her at Dumbledore's funeral- a massive scene with all the non-Death Eater characters just for us fans to see- but it's unlikely that they'll pay all those actors just for the sake of a 2 second non-speaking appearance.
