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)

-
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
-
The family Wizard tournament sounds like the perfect way to mass produce villain backstories
-
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?? 😭
-
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
-
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.
-
At the end of the Werewolves vs Vampires special, when Alex says to Justin “please tell me we’ll find normal people” Justin responds with “We’re not normal people”. Genuine chills
-
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.
-
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
-
Theory: the ball didn't fall through the soup pot, because WATER STOPPED THE SPELL FROM WORKING PROPERLY
-
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
-
"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 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😂
-
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
-
I love Alex, she's the rare kids sitcom character that I think has stood the test of time. Selena just plays her SO convincingly.
-
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
-
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.
-
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 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 like to think the one leg wizard did the time freeze while hopping on one leg spell like that on purpose bc he could probably do it for a LONG while and it’s impossible to do it for long if you have no practice therefore absolutely DUNKING on the abled bodied wizards. And I’m here for it. It’s the fictional equivalent of the IRL first-ever-named berserker having weak legs.
