Doesn’t this conceptual rendering of the new Harry Potter Theme Park look like it was painted by Thomas Kinkade?
At first I thought it must be a strange coincidence and that it couldn’t be by the Painter of Light™ since it depicts people in the picture. But then I was looking to see if he had ever painted a castle before and was surprised to find this:

If he painted “A New Day at the Cinderella Castle” I guess its not so inconceivable that he would paint Hogwarts too.
What do you think? Is the Hogwart’s rendering a Kinkade original?
