Let's stick to tales and stuff like that. From the beginning, this show was never going to be solely about fairy tales. Graham was originally supposed to be Sherlock Holmes (not a fairy tale) and Hook was supposed to be in season 1 (not a fairy tale). We also got Pinocchio right off the bat (not a fairy tale) and we also got Alice in Wonderland (not a fairy tale) and the myth of Midas (not a fairy tale).

This show is about iconic literature. Let's just make that clear. And from what DarKingdomHearts just described, this fits into the lore of the show perfectly, and it's apparently a German fairy tale (like both Snow White and Rumplestiltskin) so I see no reason why it can't be included just because it was a movie. Which btw, so does every single other story in the show. LOL Well I didn't mean it exactly like that. Peter Pan and Pinnocchio are classics, and Midas is a myth, but it's still a tale so I have no problem with stuff like these. But taking stuff from a movie like that would be like bringing Hogwarts to OUAT which would probably be way too much. Frozen was more movie than Snow Queen and it fit in perfectly. And Harry Potter's first and foremost a book series, not a movie series. But yeah, Hogwarts would be a little too much. At most Harry and Voldemort, maybe Dumbledore. But no one and nothing else. J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. will never let Harry Potter be on Once in any form, besides Young Emma mentioning the book as a work of fiction. Disney shows the movies all the time on the ABC's and Disney channels. Why would either of them object to a Once-ification? Not that I want it or am in favor of it, but still. Plus, Emma also thought that Snow White was a fairytale. LOL There is quite a big difference between the right to play a movie on your channel, and the right for a show on your channel to adapt your IP into there own universe. And J.K. Rowling is very protective of her work. Everything in the movies had to be approved by her. Everything in the theme park had to be approved by her. In fact, Disney was trying to get theme park rights before Universal, but couldn't because Disney wanted things like handicap ramps, shops that could fit more than 10 people at a time, and muggle soda in the resturaunt, and Rowling wasn't having it. Thus how Universal Studios got it (yes ma'am, whatever you say, ma'am). Trust me, Adam and Eddy, would be on a tighter lease than they we're with the Frozen stuff, and they already played that pretty straight. And besides all that, Warner Bros. would want a ton of money for ABC (aka Disney aka a competitor) to use Harry Potter on Once. It wouldn't be worth it, and honestly it wouldn't fit well, like you said your not in favor of it either.
