I love that it's a reboot of a show we all loved, and although it's for kid's, many people watching are adults that are lovers of the original. That being said, besides Justin and Alex, the characters & script are badly written. The entire premise feels lazy. There is no natural progression of the story and it all feels forced. Everyone knows wizards exist and the magic doesn't feel special anymore. The children are written without their own specific personalities and are just far too precocious. None of the lines are funny and the audience struggles to connect with any of the new characters. The original was more mature and well written. Overall just disappointed.
I LOVED IT !
I have been waiting all year for this to come out and I finished every episode in 1 day.
I already want more episodes I didn't want to stop watching.
I love the new characters, I would however like to see more of Alex as I'm a huge Selena Gomez fan and Alex was always my favourite Disney channel character as a kid. We also need good throwback with Alex and harper singing the hat song :D
I found her hilarious, Wizards of Waverly place was always my favourite show and I'm so happy that it's back with a twist.
Keep those episodes coming Wizards beyond Waverly place crew because I already can't get enough. <3.

I cried at the end of the first episode...this show is so special to me and for so many people who grew up watching this, and I rewatched it 2x and it is still funny and has a place in my heart like no other show from that era. They did it great back then and I believe it still going to be amazing now. I was so worried that it would be like Raven's Home (that sadly was kinda of boring just focusing on kids and barely Raven's problems) but here the magic and wizard world is still the main focus and that is amazing! No other show by Disney channel had so much importance than Wizards Of Waverly Place, 4 seasons, 1 movie, 1 special after the show ended and now a reboot!
Give it a try you won't regret, your inner child will be proud of you.

So I watched the first 2 episodes and here's what I have to say...
Justin is still funny, Alex is still Alex, Billie is adorable, The plot is okay, the theme is okay, I'm glad that Max is a billionaire, everything is okay. However there are things that are very confusing like how did Justin get fired from a "unicorn incident" and how does he have the powers? If he has two kids, would they have powers too? Also why didn't he just tell his wife that he was a wizard after he was fired? And what why did Justin and Juliet break up? There are so many questions that needs to be answered. But overall it's fun, it's enjoyable.

- GoofsA major theme of the original Wizards of Waverly Place series was that Wizards cannot marry Non-Wizards. This rule was what lead Jerry Russo to surrender his powers, giving him the ability to marry Theresa. Since Justin still maintains his magic and Wizard status, he should not have been able to marry Giada, a Non-Wizard.
