The Russos live on Waverly Place in Manhattan 's Greenwich Village, above a sandwich shop which they own and run. The family consists of siblings Alex ( Selena Gomez ), Justin ( David Henrie ), and Max ( Jake T. Austin ). The three teenagers are wizards and live with their Italian father, Jerry ( David DeLuise ), a former family wizard, and their mortal Mexican mother, Theresa ( Maria Canals Barrera ). When the Russo siblings complete their wizard training, they have to participate in a competition to decide who will become the Family Wizard ( the one to keep his / her magical powers forever ) of their generation, while the others lose their powers and become mortals. Because of this, Jerry tries to teach his children to not become dependent on magic. Since one of them gets to keep their powers, though, Jerry also gives his children wizard lessons ( the lessons end mid Season four ). The storage room of the Russo family 's sub station is a wizard 's lair. In the lair is a Portal which allows them to visit the wizard world, and other creatures to visit them. The headmaster of the wizard council, Professor Crumbs ( Ian Abercrombie ), regularly pays visits to the Russo home. The Russo siblings attend Tribeca Preparatory School and constantly encounter their Old West style principal, Mr. Laritate ( Bill Chott ). Because they live in the mortal world, the Russos are required to keep the existence of wizardry a secret. Even so, Alex 's best friend, Harper Finkle ( Jennifer Stone ), discovers the secret in Season 2 's episode `` Harper Knows ''. Justin 's best friend, Zeke Beakerman ( Dan Benson ), also finds out in Season 4 's episode `` Zeke Finds Out '', along with Alex 's boyfriend, Mason Greyback ( Gregg Sulkin ), who is a werewolf and Justin 's girlfriend, Juliet van Heusen ( Bridgit Mendler ), who is a vampire.

Merchandise Soundtrack Main article : Wizards of Waverly Place ( soundtrack ) The soundtrack album for the hit Disney Channel Original Series of the same name. The album was released as a physical CD, enhanced CD and digital on August 4, 2009, under Walt Disney Records. The album includes songs from and inspired by the TV series and Wizards of Waverly Place : The Movie. In response to the soundtrack, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic recognized Wizards for its `` teen revamps of boomer classics that parents can enjoy too ''. He also stated that the album is `` agreeable '' and that Selena Gomez `` inevitably stands out from the pack ''. However, Erlewine said : `` the dang - awful version of America 's `` You Can Do Magic '' by Drew Seeley is sunk by its hyper - claustrophobic rhythms, the biggest rearrangement of a tune here and easily the worst cut.
