And interesting point, about the hourglass. I imagine though, that it lasted just long enough for him to switch into Henry's body, and then once the ship got back to Storybrooke and HenryPan was released from the Box, the hourglass becomes irrelevant because it only pertains to Neverland and magic works differently in the LWM/Storybrooke. Well, not only maybe Malcolm created Neverland but it'd be cool if all the children did.

And Neverland exists based on the kids believing in it. Just like Fantastica.

(Arctucrus don't get mad at me ;DD)
