Disney Channel Original Series Wizards of Waverly Place features the Russo family who has a secret — they're wizards! In a world where one needs to compete to become the family wizard (one sibling gets to keep the magical power when they grow up), one can't help but get into some sibling rivalry and parental trouble. Wizards of Waverly Place features Alex, Max and Justin as wizards in training, trying to get by each other and prove themselves worthy of their gift of magic.
