YouTube copyright was a little goofy! A little quirky! It auto-flagged the theme song in the video, a month after release. I had to trim out all instances of it, which removed the original clip montage this video opened with. Here's a link to the original opening for the historical record. • Original Wizards Part 1 Opening (secret)

It was really nice to have a main character with a personality beyond "I don't fit in, I'm clumsy and so relatable" Alex was witty, mischievous and cool. I didn't just want Alex as a friend, I wanted to BE Alex.
-
Can I just say, the "did Mason break up with you" thing in Future Harper coming back, with Mason being a real character, blew my mind as a kid. Like, it was one of the first real instance of foreshadowing/continuity that I really noticed back then and it was a lot for my dumb 12 year old mind to comprehend
-
i’m just now realizing how hypothetically irresponsible it is for a wizard parent to not have powers. what if the kids really mess up, the dad just can’t fix it?? 😭
-
I think the thing that makes me happiest about this show, is that the entire cast seem to have positive memories from this. Which is really hard to say for a lot of children's programming that includes kids/teens.
-
As a girl, Selena's entire wardrobe during this series was GOALS for me. I adored how cute she looked in everything, wanted to get the same haircut etc.
-
The family Wizard tournament sounds like the perfect way to mass produce villain backstories
-
Its a really minor thing to get hung up on, but can we take a minute to appreciate how refreshing it is for a Cool Guy character to say "no don't look at the stripping girl" and all the Dude Bros agreeing? W Dean moment
-
To be honest, being disabled and making up a spell forcing everyone to temporarily live with your disability for the spell to work is 100% something a wizard would do
-
Jerry had the best dad energy. He was always caring and understanding and just cool enough while still being a responsible parent. Also he takes the fact that he doesn't have magic pretty well and doesn't get frustrated at the kids for having something he lost. All-in-all a 10/10 TV dad
-
The fact that the Harry Potter coke-bottle glasses are made a mandatory part of the school uniform just to further drive home the already extremely blatant reference is very funny to me
-
You gotta love Disney sitcoms where all you needed was to be a teenage girl with a nice shirt and makeup and random fashion designers would just give you a job
-
"We also learn that Alex is 15 in this episode" if only there was another episode that could've provided this information Like a birthday episode where a party specifically for 15 year olds was thrown
-
i really appreciate just how good David and Selena’s chemistry was on this show, they make very sweet siblings. that bit where he ignores the pressing matter to be like “wow, I can’t believe it…. You got a job?!” and she’s like “I know right! I can’t believe it either!” was just silly and adorable to me
-
The funny thing about the “Harper learning about wizards” situation is that it could’ve been averted by Alex simply saying “oh hi Harper! My nerd brother and parents dragged me here so I guess I’m coming anyway! how’s it going”
-
I just realised S2 EP2 about justin dating a werewolf and turning into one is 100% a kid friendly metaphor for going on a date with someone you met online and them not mentioning they have an STD that they can give to you without telling you until it’s too late and that’s just incredible😂
-
It would stress me out as a little kid whenever the Russo's would do spell's in public because I took it very seriously when their dad said it was important that they kept their magic a secret.
-
Finally, a multi-hour long retrospective of a show I ACTUALLY watched
-
Justin is such a fucking highlight of this show? Like, he and Selena play incredibly well off one another, I think 90% of episodes are just their chemistry carrying the comedy and plot.
-
hearing you say you have no memory of harper having a crush on justin is the funniest thing i've ever heard. it's like seeing a cliché play out perfectly irl with no warning
