    Since we have characters like Elsa and Emma, who both are at odds with their magic and wish they didn’t have it, I’m worried what this hat could mean for them. I wouldn’t want to see either one of them lose their magic, or be trapped in a hat. Most likely, the hat will the the Snow Queen’s fate. The writer in me knows our heroes will be fine. I hope.

    See, I can’t see them taking away Emma’s magic again. They did that once and then she got it back when she realized where home was…bit repetitive.

    I agree, and it’s too repetitive too soon for it to happen again.  But this is likely how the Snow Queen is taken care of at the end of the 4A arc.

    I agree. However, the device of being sucked into a prop, has also been done in Once. My first thought was Pandora’s Box. Although, the hat sounds a little more final than Pandora’s box.

    WELL if that’s the case…

    Merlin’s role in Arthurian legend traditionally ends with him getting trapped inside a cave/tree/rock and often has his magic stolen in the process.

    Merlin’s in the hat. Not sure how the hat will tie into THIS arc (like others have suggested, it’ll probably be the ultimate fate of the Snow Queen) but I’d bet a whole lot of cookies he’s knocking around in there somewhere. It’s the only thing this made me think of, honestly, really curious to see where they’re going with the hat.

    I didn’t know that about Merlin. Now I’m hoping he is in the hat.

     Wasn’t there a theory Charmings father was Merlin?

    If that hat sucks in magical beings, then I’m sure if anyone knows how to release them it would be Rumple.

    Wonder if Rumple will use the hat to trap a magical person. Or, will he use it to release a magical person.

    Yup! The details, like just about everything in the Matter of Britain, change depending on the telling and teller,  but “generally” speaking, he’s trapped by a woman he’s training in magic – most commonly a Lady of the Lake named Nimue or Vivian. Less commonly, it’s Morgana who does it instead, which conveniently ties into my previous theory about her being the previous owner of the hat. So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. She stuck Merlin in there and held onto him for safe keeping and we’ll hear all about it in 5A.

    Wasn’t there a theory Charmings father was Merlin?

    Not one that I’ve heard? Nor one I’d particularly agree with, as I can’t see there being a whole lot of evidence for it, but it’s been four seasons now and the fandom’s probably guessed *everyone* for Charming’s father at this point.

    I am thinking he will just use the hat. The magic trapped inside that is. I figure you put on the hat, get to use the power. He’s already the most powerful dark magic user. Add onto his power the magic of hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of other powerful folks…. He’d be a magical god…. He’s addicted to magic. This is exactly where its going I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up trapped in the hat.

    So, what if Rumple takes the hat box, but Belle finds it. What if curiosity got the better if her and she put it on herself?

    Or, what if Henry visits Grandpa’s shop, sees the hat, and puts it on.

    this better happen. Henry needs to tap into his magic this season. I think it happens in episode 4, the apprentice.
