Background behind Wizards of Waverly Place
Wizards of Waverly Place is a live-action Disney Channel Original Series which premiered on October 12, 2007 on Disney Channel. The series focuses on the three Russo children who, at first glance, seem to be normal kids, but are actually wizards in training. The Russo children are competing within their family to be the best wizard, so that he or she will get to keep their powers as an adult.
The show is centered in Manhattan and centers upon Alex Russo (played by up-and-coming star Selena Gomez), her older brother Justin, and their younger brother Max. The three live with their stern, disciplinary father, Jerry, and their eccentric Latino mother, Theresa. Jerry was a wizard when he was young and lost his powers to his older brother, who proved to be the better wizard in the family. He married Theresa, who is not a wizard. Alex often gets into trouble by using magic unsupervised, and learns lessons and morals that span among
friends, family, and school.
When the three Russo kids become adults, they will have to compete to see
who gets to keep their wizard powers. If they were to marry a mortal, like their father did, they would also relinquish their magic powers.
I love watching this show with my kids. We all enjoy it and its content is truly unique. Why not spend some time curled up with the family watching this adorable Disney series?

Wizard Internet Shopping: You can buy dragons and wizardly items on special laptops.
Emotion Potions: If you drink this potion, your emotions will change. If you and someone else drink two bottles of the same type of potion, you will both have the same emotion. If you drink the whole potion you will feel that emotion for yourself.

The Power Hat: When your wizarding powers start to kick in, you must wear a goofy-looking hat so your wizarding powers don't go out of control.
Magic Broom: Allows a wizard to fly, but at super slow speeds- which is why most wizards use carpets.
