History Fridge / WizardsOfWaverlyPlace

* Okay, so in one episode, an Animate spell causes a store mannequin and a Catwoman Expy to come to life. The spell specifically forbids the spell from being dispelled if the target develops emotions. Why? It's never specifically stated, but it can be inferred that these creations have personalities, emotions, and indivuality. In essence, they have souls. So, when Manny the mannequin gets dunked in water, the spell is dismissed, conveniently fixing the "problem" of the ep. [[FridgeHorror Wait...]] Didn't they just strictly forbid the spell being ended? If we follow the inference that Animated beings have "souls," does that mean the jealous boyfriend who dunked Manny just committed murder? Yes, absolutely.

* After Ian Abercrombie bit the dust in early 2012, [[spoiler:his character passing his position on to Max]] may now wind up becoming HarsherInHindsight due to ActorExistenceFailure happening just days after the series finale was broadcast.

*** In hindsight, the spell probably isn't ''really'' irreversible. If it was, Jerry wouldn't have wasted his time putting on a premature Wizard competition in the hopes that one of them could win and break the spell.

* I've finally come up with an answer to the often asked question "Why is [[WellIntentionedExtremist Stevie]]'s plan bad?" If the roughly 5000 other wizards who joined her revolution are anything like her, they probably have no qualms about using magic in front of other people. (Remember that hole-in-the-ground spell Stevie cast in the middle of a hallway full of {{Muggles}}?) In addition, Stevie often demonstrates a callous lack of regard for the impact of her actions on others. (Again, the hole-in-the-ground spell. By her own admission, she neither knew nor cared where that student ended up.) Imagine what would happen if her followers were to go around emulating her behavior. There would be a huge risk not only to innocent bystanders, but to the secrecy of the Wizard world as a whole. This, in fact, is probably the whole reason why the Wizard competition exists in the first place: To weed out those Wizards who don't display enough competence or concern to use their powers without exposing wizardry to mortals. Think about why Alex won: She displayed intelligence and creativity during the competition itself (Remembering spells and coming up with clever ways around obstacles) and she displayed loyalty and concern for others. (Going back to help Justin, even thought it meant sacrificing her victory.) Even though she sometimes messes up and engages in reckless behavior, it's balanced out by her having the qualities that make a person worthy to be a wizard. Stevie doesn't have those qualities to balance her out and her followers probably don't either, so if they were allowed to keep their powers, they'd probably act in a way that creates a serious risk of wizardry being exposed.

*** Maybe who created it TRIED to make a counterspell, but couldn't. Y'know, maybe he just wasn't able to.

*** The spell being irreversible could be considered FridgeLogic in it's own right though: Someone created this dangerous spell, probably knowing that there was a risk of someone accidentally activating it, and did not think it necessary to create a counterspell?

** The wand doesn't grant wishes. It is implied that while delivering her angry sentiment, she mistakenly cast one of the spells from the Forbidden Book she had read the night before. It is also stated multiple times that said spell is irreversible.

* Actually more of Fridge {{Squick}}, but to get that dress on Alex that little girl would of needed to take her old clothes off first.

* [[BecauseDestinySaysSo Future Harper]]. So many throw away lines end up becoming major plot points.

* The three Russo siblings actually [[AccidentalNightmareFuel committed murders]]. First, Alex has murdered two human beings, one directly, one indirectly, through Max. The first time, it wasn't specific, but, in "Fashion Week", she told her tridimensional copy that she wanted to talk to her, then she took a big, heavy object and followed her into the other room, while having a suspicious, weird look on her face. Her clone has never been seen after that, so it was implied that she actually killed her. Second, she froze Stevie, then Max shattered her to pieces, [[KilledForReal bringing her death]], and no one cared that she died. Alex even made a cruel joke, regarding Stevie's pieces that were scattered on the floor. The third time, it wasn't actually a murder, but Justin, Alex and Max made the Goldfarm family disappear, sending them to limbo. Later, agent Lamwood even tells Justin and Alex that no one has ever seen that family again.

* Juliet is ''still alive''. This was thrown in to give Justin 'closure', but it threw any type of logic her ending in "Wizards vs. Werewolves" may have had out the window.

FridgeLogic:
* In ''Wizards vs. Werewolves'', Max defeats the Mummy by unwrapping it.

FridgeHorror:
* At the end of the ''Wizards vs. Angels'' trilogy, Max/Maxine had turned a bunch of 12-year old girls into old men and then eventually into talking fruit. At the end of that ep, having been fed up with their bad fruit jokes, Jerry was going to get a blender. So let's review: 12-year old girls, turned into fruit, put in a blender. *shudder*
* Mason eating Dean alive, while he is not in his full werewolf mode, actually implies [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism THIS]].

FridgeBrilliance:
* In the beginning of Captain Jim Bob Sherwood, Justin tells Alex he doesn't use email because spam tries to sell him ''vitamins'', and Alex seems quite amused to find that Justin ordered some. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar It was an obvious 'male enhancement' joke]]. The brilliant part comes when you realize Justin has confessed to Alex how insecure he is during the movie.
* [[BecauseDestinySaysSo Future Harper]]. So many throw away lines end up becoming major plot points.

*** Probably not irreversible, since the whole point of the premature Wizard competition was to grant one of them full powers so they could reverse the spell. Jerry wouldn't have had them try that if he thought there was no chance of it succeeding.
