Rita Skeeter is described in a way that, now that we know Rowling's views, is very uh. Not great. Especially since she's a very masculine woman who is illegally and animagus to invade private spaces in order to spy on people.

ayrt.
I think that she might have a real-life prototype. It's strangely specific for a minor character. Actually it makes me think that Rowling really was abused by a trans person. I thought that it was just some backpedaling from her.

Here what I found:
Hair: blonde, set in elaborate and curiously rigid curls (GF18); after her long period of unemployment, she let it hang lank and unkempt instead (OP25).
Face: heavy-jawed, heavily penciled eyebrows, jeweled spectacles (false jewels), three gold teeth (GF18).
Fingernails: long and painted red (GF18).
Hands: large, mannish (GF18).
Carries: crocodile-skin handbag holding parchment and an acid-green Quick-Quotes Quill (GF18).
+ weirdly strong grip when she grabs Harry.

Or she just wanted to be that wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

I always figured that Janet Street Porter was the basis for Rita Skeeter.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

She matches most of the description.

Looked her up and... I don't see it. Some traits, sure, but...

[(Anonymous)]

She basically has the same personality as Janet Street-Porter.
