I love the inclusion of David Lynch (the NC-17 Harry Potter to be sure - I'd 
pay good money to hear Snape speak ala Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet), 
although my vote goes for one of the four HP "auditioned" directors - Terry 
Gilliam.  I read somewhere that J-Ro preferred him herself, but even if that 
weren't true (and I couldn't tell you where I read it) he would have been my 
pick.  That man can handle darkness and humor and has a complete gift for 
artistic direction (his sets are always mind-blowing ala Jean-Pierre Jeunet). 
Brazil, his best, is easily in my Top Five Greatest Movies Ever, but I also 
love Time Bandits, The Fisher King and 12 Monkeys (not to mention Monty 
Python and the Holy Grail, co-director).  

I think the pawns of those chess set pieces in the final task sure look 
Gilliam-esque.  But that's probably just me.
