J.K. Rowling admired Terry Gilliam's imaginative and unique approach to storytelling, feeling that his style would align well with the magical and fantastical elements of the Harry Potter world. She believed that Gilliam's creativity and vision could have brought a distinct and visually stunning interpretation to the films.
