Alexandra Margarita Russo ( Selena Gomez) is the only female of the three Russo siblings and the middle child. She is sly, rebellious, outgoing, and usually underachieves when it comes to school. She often gets into trouble because of her constant schemes (usually involving magic). [4] Alex and Justin Russo are the only characters to appear in every episode of the series and the shows focus tends to be on her and her journey being/becoming a wizard
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 of wizardry, he takes after his father, Jerry, who originally won the Wizard Family Competition against Kelbo and Megan.
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 turn Max into a little girl who is then 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 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). [5]
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). [6]
Billie van Heusen (Janice LeAnn Brown) is Justin's long-lost daughter with Juliet van Heusen, a wizard-in-training who comes to live with him and his family in the sequel series.
Roman Russo (Alkaio Thiele) is a wizard and Justin's and Giada's son, and Max's and Alex's nephew, whom the latter dotes over.
Giada Russo ( Mimi Gianopulos) is Roman's mother and Justin's human wife, whom he chose to give up his powers to marry.
The following is a list of recurring characters in the Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place.
Characters only appear in Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.
Characters only appear in The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex.
