Alex Russo: Wizard Tribunal Agent, Not Mom
In Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, Alex Russo, played by Selena Gomez, is not a mother. Instead, she’s embraced a surprising career path: working for the Wizard Tribunal. This powerful organization enforces wizard law, a stark contrast to Alex’s rebellious nature in the original series. While her new role showcases her intelligence and capabilities, it’s a significant departure from her mischievous past. This unexpected turn has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether this career choice truly aligns with Alex’s character.
Justin Russo’s Family: Magic in Their Genes?
While Alex doesn’t have children, her brother Justin, now married with two sons, Roman and Milo, is a central figure in the sequel. A burning question revolves around Justin’s children and their potential magical abilities. Do they inherit the Russo family magic? So far, neither boy has displayed any powers. Considering the established lore of the Wizards universe, where magical abilities typically manifest around age 12, the absence of magic in Roman, who is nearing that age, is notable.

The Absence of Magic and Justin’s Role
The lack of overt magical abilities in Justin’s sons raises questions about his role as a father and mentor. While initially keeping his wizarding background secret from his family, Justin eventually reveals the truth. However, he hasn’t actively engaged in teaching his sons about magic, even with the arrival of Billie, a young wizard in need of training. This omission seems peculiar, particularly given the potential danger associated with untrained magical abilities. Could Justin be waiting for a specific moment to introduce his sons to the magical world, or is there another explanation for his reluctance?

A New Generation of Wizards?
Despite the current absence of magic in Justin’s children, the possibility of their future magical development remains open. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place has only just begun, leaving ample room for the storyline to explore their potential. Will Roman and Milo eventually follow in their family’s magical footsteps? Will they become central figures in the fight against impending magical threats? These questions add a layer of suspense and anticipation for viewers.
Conclusion: A Magical Return with Lingering Questions
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place successfully captures the charm of the original while introducing fresh storylines and intriguing mysteries. While Alex Russo doesn’t have children, focusing on her career with the Wizard Tribunal, the question of Justin’s sons inheriting magical powers remains a focal point. As the series progresses, viewers eagerly anticipate answers and the unfolding of new magical adventures. The series is available to stream on Disney+, with new episodes released weekly. Will the Russo family legacy continue with a new generation of wizards? Only time will tell.
