I don’t think the wraith was a specific nod to Harry Potter–that type of creature/art predates Harry Potter I think.
Yeah, the wraith concept ain’t unique and ain’t new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wraith
I don’t think though that BF had a direct role in Henry’s adoption. At the time Henry was adopted, August was apparently off in Phuket. He mailed Emma the keys to the yellow bug (but stole the money) from there. Neal had given August that stuff in Canada, but August waited until he was in Phuket to send it. He must have gone pretty quickly after talking to Neal, since Emma is just finding out she is pregnant so unlikely he came back 8 months later to take Henry to SB. He might have, but I think with the new storyline of the HO it will trigger them using other players to get Henry to SB.
Yep, I’d been positive that it had to be BF who orchestrated the adoption…but I didn’t know that K&H had THO up their sleeves, and now they’re the ones who make sense to me. August buggered off to Phuket before Emma even knew she was pregnant, and he didn’t come back until he was heading to SB, so there’s no way he was involved with the adoption IMO.
As for saying you don’t think Gepetto and Pinnocchio went back and forth to NL on the raft–no one is saying they went back and forth on that thing. It may have been something they cobbled together after escaping, because it sure didn’t look like a planned raft for an ocean journey–but we don’t know how one gets to NL. Rumpel says he thought there were no more beans in his land, and Smee replies that ships that dock come from other lands, where they find treasures. It’s kind of curious if that might mean worlds rather than just countries in FTL.
I could see it if Pinocchio gets taken to NL, and then Geppetto builds himself a boat to go rescue him, and during the journey back, Monstro attacks and destroys the boat, just leaving them with that chunk of raft. As for how they get between FTL & NL, that’s anyone’s guess, but I’m sure they could come up with a way for it to happen. Plot Device Fairy to the rescue. 😛
