desc none

The Disney Channel original series ''Wizards of Waverly Place'' centers on the fictional characters of the Russo family, which includes Alex (Selena Gomez), her older brother Justin (David Henrie), and their younger brother Max ( Jake T. Austin). The three Russo siblings are wizards in training and live with their Italian-American father, Jerry (David DeLuise), and their Mexican-American mother, Theresa ( Maria Canals Barrera). The siblings have to keep the secret of their magical powers safe while living in the mortal world. When they become adults, the three siblings will have a wizard competition to decide who will become the family wizard and keep his or her powers.

Overview

Main

* Alexandra Margarita Russo (Selena Gomez) is the only female out of the three Russo siblings and the middle child. She is sly, rebellious, outgoing, and usually under achieves when it comes to school. She often gets into trouble because of her constant schemes (usually involving magic). Alex and Justin Russo are the only characters to appear in every episode of the series
* Justin Vincenzo Pepé Russo (David Henrie) is Alex's and Max's older brother, and the oldest of the three Russo siblings. He is very smart and is often considered a "nerd" because he is in numerous clubs and has learned over 5000 spells. He continues his wizard studies in a Monster Hunting course. For his knowledge in wizardry, he takes after his father Jerry, who originally won the Wizard Family Competition against Kelbo and Megan.
* Maximilian Alonzo Ernesto "Max" Russo ( Jake T. Austin) is the youngest of the three Russo siblings. Although Max is an underachiever in the beginning, he advances more during the series. During season four, Alex and Justin accidentally turned Max into a little girl who then is given the name "Maxine" (Bailee Madison). Maxine remains as such for five episodes starting from "Three Maxes and a Little Lady" and ending with "Back To Max" when the spell is reversed.
* Harper Rosanne Evans Finkle (Jennifer Stone) is best friends with Alex Russo. She used to have a crush on her brother, Justin Russo, but eventually falls in love with Justin's best friend, Zeke Beakerman. Harper is a typical teenager: self-expressive but a little insecure at times. Unlike Alex, she is a hardworking student and a fairly positive person. During season 2, Harper finds out about the Russo family's wizard powers.
* Theresa Russo ( Maria Canals Barrera) is the mother of Alex, Justin and Max Russo and co-owner of the Waverly Sub Station, with her husband Jerry. Theresa is the slightly more serious one of the couple. Theresa is Mexican American (as a Latina, Canals Barrera has Spanish ancestry through her Cuban parents).''Wizards of Waverly Place'' episode: "You Can't Always Get What You Carpet"
* Geraldo Pepé "Jerry" Russo (David DeLuise) is the father of Alex, Justin and Max Russo and co-owner of the Waverly Sub Station with his wife Theresa. He is also a former wizard who chose to give up his powers to marry his wife Theresa, a mortal, due to a rule forbidding wizards to marry mortals. Jerry is Italian American (DeLuise also has Italian ancestry).''Wizards of Waverly Place'' episode: "Quinceañera"

Recurring

The following is a list of recurring characters in the Disney Channel sitcom ''Wizards of Waverly Place''.
* Zeke Beakerman (Dan Benson) is Justin's best friend. Zeke is in the same grade as Justin. He attends Tribeca Prep and is in advanced chemistry along with Justin.

Mason is first fully introduced as a student in Alex's art class, and as an English boy who has a crush on Alex. They later begin to date. Mason loves to paint.
*Juliet van Heusen (Bridgit Mendler; seasons 2–4) is a teenage vampire who is Justin Russo's main love interest.

As a recurring gag, in every episode he appears in during the post credits scenes, he makes a prank call to someone.
* Monotone Woman (Amanda Tepe; seasons 1–2) has played numerous characters during the show's first season, as well as one guest appearance in season two.
