Wizards Beyond Waverly Place feels like slipping into a magical time capsule—modernized yet intimately familiar. It’s as if the original series leaped forward into the future, bringing the magic with it. The tone, jokes, and familial energy all evoke the original, while laying the groundwork for Justin Russo’s life as an adult, husband, and father. Seeing Justin take on the role his father once had is both heartwarming and satisfying, and Alex’s presence brings that same mischievous spark we adored years ago. The show balances nostalgia with fresh energy—new characters like Billie, Roman, and Milo bring their own quirks while echoing the sibling banter and magical mishaps we loved in the original. There are Easter eggs for longtime fans, but the story is easy to follow for new viewers, making it a perfect mix of familiar comfort and new adventures. It’s funny, heartfelt, and full of little nods that make you smile if you grew up with the Russos. Whether you’re reliving your Disney Channel days or discovering this magical world for the first time, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place brings the magic back in the best way possible.

Absolutely LOVED it! They did such a great job with this movie. The original movie was one of my favourites growing up and they executed the second one PERFECTLY! I really don't understand why the ratings are low, this movie had me laughing non stop! They made an amazing decision creating this sequel, if i could i would give it 10 stars. If you loved the original movie as much as I did, you will LOVE the second. I never leave reviews for movies, so that really says something!
