Of course, that still leaves the question of how did Hook find a portal since they are still quite rare; but at least he had a lot more options than the Curse (my guess is that Glinda helped him). Hook possibily left the Enchanted Forest, after Snow White's curse was enacted. Since Ariel and Prince Eric were never sent to Storybrooke, there must have been a part of the Enchanted Forest that was protected again. Who is powerful enough to cast a protive shield, and why was Hook in that part of the Enchanted Forest? My guess, is OUaT is saving this storyline for Season 4..... so, I would rule Glinda out.
