The Top Ten
Who Will Be the Family Wizard? The Russo siblings - Alex, Justin, and Max - compete in the family wizard competition to determine who will become the sole family wizard. The competition's outcome leads to unexpected decisions that affect the entire family.

I believe that Alex fully deserves the title of Family Wizard. She does fool around with magic, but when she desperately needs it, she uses it well. It is very impressive. I love the twist at the end of the episode when Justin tells the truth about what happens. It is full of action, drama, excitement, and love. It is a tale to remember.

I love this episode as it is the finale, and it is also a one-hour special. It showed how much Justin actually cared for Alex, as he was willing to give up his full wizard powers. It was also good that Justin got powers and became the headmaster of WizTech. Plus, Max made it sound good that Justin and Alex got powers and he got the sub station.

Wizards Exposed The Russo family's wizardry is exposed to the world, resulting in their capture by a secret government agency. They must find a way to escape and erase all evidence of magic to protect the wizarding community.
Wizards vs. Everything The Russo family faces a formidable threat that endangers both the wizard and mortal worlds. They must unite their magical abilities to confront this unprecedented challenge.

The action in this episode is packed full of drama and love. Wizards vs. Everything is a highly rated episode for Wizards of Waverly Place fans.

I love how the couples get back together, and the action is so cool.

Quinceañera Alex prepares for her quinceañera, a traditional celebration of her 15th birthday, but prefers a simple affair over her mother's elaborate plans. Meanwhile, Justin uses magic to ensure a perfect evening, leading to unforeseen complications.

I don't remember much about the entire series itself, but I gotta say, this one was pretty decent because, for once, Alex did the right thing. And it wasn't for her own self-benefit. She did it for her mother: by switching bodies with her, Theresa would be able to have the Quinceañera that she never had. So, go Alex! Sadly, that was the only nice, sweet, and sincere thing she ever did.

This is the best episode ever! Sure, I'm not Spanish, but this episode makes me want to be. I love how Alex is different from her mom but actually likes the Quinceañera. Alex does great deeds in hilarious and awesome ways. She makes me wish I could be a wizard. Justin and Max were cool characters there too. The Russo Family is the best family ever!

Wizards vs. Werewolves Alex and Justin discover that their respective romantic partners, Mason and Juliet, have supernatural secrets, leading to a confrontation between wizards and werewolves. The ensuing events test their relationships and family bonds.

This is an amazing episode of Wizards of Waverly Place. Justin's girlfriend, Juliet, finds out that Alex's boyfriend, Mason, was her boyfriend a long time ago. Mason looks like he still has feelings for Juliet, but he does not. A long time ago, Mason and Juliet were boyfriend and girlfriend.

I love it because it took Justin forever to find Juliet again, but the person who helped him was Alex's new boyfriend and Juliet's ex.

This should be in the top 2 with the finale. They're both worth watching!

Crazy 10 Minute Sale Alex eagerly anticipates the annual Crazy 10-Minute Sale but faces obstacles that threaten her shopping plans. She resorts to using magic to secure desired items, leading to unintended consequences.

It's the first and the best! It is the first episode, so it will be the best when all the characters are introduced, and we learn that they are wizards! Also, it shows how Alex can be bad with magic and mess up when she copies herself. Justin and Max have fun with the copied Alex, which affects the real Alex too! It is AWESOME!

Alex Gives Up Feeling overwhelmed, Alex decides to quit the wizard competition, relinquishing her magical powers. Her decision impacts her family and prompts introspection about her identity.

I love it so much. I can't believe how amazing this episode is. I hope everyone in the whole wide world can watch it and enjoy it too.

Wizards and Vampires vs. Zombies Justin's vampire girlfriend, Juliet, joins the Russo family in a battle against a horde of zombies threatening their neighborhood. The alliance between wizards and vampires is tested as they confront the undead menace.
Movies The Russo family embarks on a vacation to the Caribbean, where Alex inadvertently casts a spell that alters history, causing her parents to have never met. She and her brothers must navigate treacherous challenges to reverse the spell and restore their family.

I love this episode because the spell they use, the Do-Em-Ups, was cool.

Wizard vs. Angels Justin falls for Rosie, a guardian angel, but their relationship faces challenges due to their differing natures. The episode explores themes of love and the complexities of interspecies relationships.

The end of this episode though... Just heartwarming.

Everyone is focused on keeping their magic a secret, but in the end, Harper finds out. It shows that she's a true friend.

This episode is one of the best because Alex finally doesn't have to keep their family's secret from Harper.

When Alex tries to be independent and put her past behind her by renting an apartment, she finds out that Mason lives there as well. The hilarious comments they tell each other are very cute. I loved this episode!

I love seeing Alex and Harper share one single body. Definitely one of my favorite episodes!

It's hilarious! I love the hotel owner - she's really funny! And Alex, she's the best.

Alex Saves Mason Alex travels to the Wizard World to rescue Mason from a group of rogue wizards who have captured him. Along the way, she faces various challenges that test her magical abilities and determination.

It is so sad that Mason had to leave. When Alex found him, he was held in captivity. The struggle to change Mason back was romantic and sad. Their relationship grew after they found the beauty within each other at the end.

Disney shows rarely have good writing, but this is an exception. Unlike other shows (like Shake It Up and Austin & Ally), the writing here is not bad. It's actually very good and well thought out.

I love you, love you, love you! I miss you, Wizards! Please, please make more episodes.

Justin's Little Sister Tired of being overshadowed by Justin's achievements, Alex casts a spell to make everyone forget him. However, she soon realizes the unintended consequences of erasing her brother from existence.

Justin's Little Sister is a great episode as it shows that, though Alex and Justin are always trying to get back at each other (in the most hilarious ways), they love each other to bits whether they like it or not. I love Selena Gomez - she is my favorite person on the planet, and she always will be. She's funny and acts incredibly well. I want to be an actor on an amazing show just like this.
