* Some of the ways the wizarding world works seem a little shady. This is especially apparent in that episode with Tutor. Let's see...leprechauns are kept in cages to gawk at, elves get named based on what job they're going to have, and tutors aren't ever allowed to revisit the family they worked with again. In the episode where Kelbo is Shakira, it's revealed that a large breach of magic results in the council breaking your hands so you can't use a wand. And this is played for LAUGHS. And finally, we have the one wizard per family quota. Given all the evidence, Waverly Place actually seems like a Crapsack World for wizards, and the only explanation I can think of is that Voldemort is controlling it. Also explains how Alex can use her powers for evil (dark wizardry?) and usually ends up coming off as the hero. In fact, she displays a LOT of rotten-to-the-core qualities that Tom Riddle had...she just needs to have one of those incidents where "I lured the bully into the cave. He never bothered me again." Perhaps Voldemort is not only CONTROLLING the Waverly Place universe, but he is also purposely guiding Alex to become the wizard of her family so she can be the next Death Eater?

* And finally, the Wizard contest is very different at how is portrayed in the series, or at least the results. The loser(s) have to use a machine to pass their powers to the sibling who won(Who gets a NiceHat saying "Full Wizard"), but in the movie it happens the moment the competition is over.

[[WMG:The Wizard Tournament was designed to maintain the power and privileges of the Wizard ruling class]]
* The fact that the tournament exists is proof that the ruling class are made up of horrible tyrants. In addition to their rule about not revealing magic to humans, it's clear they have a huge control over the lives of Wizards. In order to maintain this power and prevent wizards from rebelling against their authority they made the tournament to divide up families, preventing them from banding together against the tyrants, as well as reducing the number of people who could rebel against them.

Harper ''did'' plan to write the Charmed and Dangerous books, and to go back in time and publish them as H.J. Darling. But she unfortunately got killed by another time traveller, and that time traveller is pulling a YouWillBeBeethoven. Seriously, anything actually written by Harper would most likely be SoBadItsHorrible or worse.

It's clear that vampires, werewolves, demons and angels exist in the ''DisneyChannelLiveActionUniverse''. And with the disasters that occured on this show, odds are someone witnissed them (unless the universe is one big WeirdnessCensor). Perhaps they will explore the Wizards mythos and perhaps explian why the Wizard competition is nesecarry.

* It's been clearly demonstrated by this point that all three Russo kids are equally worthy of the family wizard title, and the winning the competition would not equate with being a superior wizard. Since declaring a winner would be a bit of a let-down, anyway, they'll probably just leave that details to the fans' collective imagination, much like they did with many details of the ''[[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Suite Life]]'' canon.

Namely, Benny Lopez from TheGeorgeLopezShow. They're both portrayed by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belita_Moreno Belita Moreno]], and they both have a grandson named Max. This, of course, means that George and Theresa are cousins, and the Russo kids are distant cousins of the Lopez kids. No wizardry in George's family, though, since it's the mortal side of the family.
** The only problem with this is that Maria Canals Barrera, who plays Magdalena's daughter Theresa in this show, played George's dead sister-in-law on TheGeorgeLopezShow.

[[WMG:The Wizard Competition System Is A Metaphor For A Ideal Democracy]]
As mentioned above, the competition obviously seem to be a plot device to convey a '' Great Power Came With Great Responsibility'' aesop. The end is noble but why such a family dividing mean ? The answer would be than the competition is actually a metaphor for a election where only the responsibles and wises will win, as a true democracy is supposed to do in paper.

**On the other hand, Alex has been shown to use magic much more creatively than Justin and seems to be a natural for improvising spells. That may have been the meaning behind his statement, and it has always been how I interpreted it.
