The glorious mountains in Burbank aren't quite the Scottish Highlands, but they make for pretty impressive stand ins.

Compared to the flat landscape of Orlando, the rolling hills of Hollywood make for the perfect backdrop to Hogwarts Castle. Art Director, Alan Gilmore has confessed that when designing the land they wanted to make use of the landscape around them, including the views of the mountains from the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey queue, allowing guests to feel like the castle is nestled in Scotland, rather than 5,000 miles away in Los Angeles.

Not only do you get to see Hogwarts in a more natural setting, but when designing the Hollywood Hogwarts, Gilmore and his team decided to showcase the castle from a different angle.
