I thought Harry POtter did not exist during that time period? No, it did. Adam and Eddy are pros with the timeline stuff. The flashback is from 1998, and the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997 in the UK and 1998 in the US. You could argue that it wasn't popular enough for people to drop pop culture references about it, but it did exist, so it does work. Also, the game console being played is a PlayStation 1, which came out in 1995, so everything checked out timeline-wise as far as I could tell.

OH thanks to clarifying. For some odd reason, I thought young Emma with Lily scenes were from 1989.... LOL LOL - Storybrooke manifested in 1983 (shortly after Emma was born and sent through the cabinet). if it was 1989, that would make Emma 6... rather then 15 or 16 (1998-1983)depending on the month she was born (it looked like it was late summer?).

The video clip of Sara/Snow Queen asking Emma's (foster?) brother to give back the camcorder would not be that long taken after 1998 (is there more on that tape?) since it is still teen Emma. I think that would most likely make Sara/Snow Queen the LAST foster parent of Emma (if Emma had other foster parents). What year did Emma meet first meet Neil in Portland? 2002? which would make Emma 20 to 21 then? I wonder at what point did Sara/Snow Queen enter Storybrooke (in the first curse, next to Gold's pawnshop, there's an ice-cream parlor called Sara's Ice Cream).
