Also, I think that Henry will be tested by the Author's powers. I mean, he's human, just like the rest of the people, and therefore prone to make unwise choices. Like using his author powers to obtain the olympian shard.

Here's an interesting thought, though. When Isaac was the author (and all previous authors for that matter), they were kept in check by Merlin and the Apprentice. Henry now has the Author powers, and has NOONE to keep him in check (other than Regina and Emma). Merlin was killed to provide the heart used for the 4th casting of the DC in Camelot, and the Apprentice died after the struggle with the Darkness. That leaves things open for Henry to potentially use the Author powers unwisely.

And Henry is decended from Gold, so might have some of that darkness built in, but I'd be more concerned that he spent the first 10 years of his life being raised by the Evil Queen.
