One idea could be a time - travel plot. For example, the Russo kids could accidentally travel back to the era when their parents first met and get involved in the events that led to their parents' relationship. This would add a lot of humor and drama as they try not to mess up the past but still end up causing some chaos.
A story where Alex Russo has to team up with an unexpected ally from the wizard world to save her family from a powerful dark magic threat. Maybe a wizard from a different dimension who has a unique set of powers that complement Alex's. They could start off not getting along but eventually become great friends through their adventure.
One idea could be a story where the gay wizard has to hide his identity from his non - magical family while also dealing with the pressures of wizard school. Another could be a love story between two gay wizards from different magical families, facing the challenges of their families' rivalries.
A great plot could be that Alex discovers a long - lost spell book that contains spells that are considered forbidden in the wizard world. As she starts to explore the spells, she attracts the attention of an old and powerful wizard who wants to get his hands on the book. Alex then has to protect the book and herself while also deciding if she should use the powerful and dangerous spells.
One idea could be that Justin and Max are forced to team up for a wizard competition that they initially don't want to do. As they train together, they start to understand each other better and form a closer bond. Another could be that they accidentally swap powers and have to figure out how to live with each other's abilities while also not getting caught by their family. Maybe they get stuck in a magical realm together and have to rely on each other to find their way back home, which would be a great adventure and also a chance for their relationship to grow.
One idea could be a crossover where the characters from both universes meet at a magical school tournament. Harry Potter characters could be amazed by the wizarding world in Wizards of Waverly Place which has a more modern and family - centered approach to magic. Another plot could involve a spell gone wrong that transports a Harry Potter character into the Russo family's world and they have to figure out how to get back while dealing with the Russo family's daily magical chaos.
A fanfic could focus on a gay wizard who discovers a new form of magic that is only accessible to those who embrace their true selves. He then has to convince the other wizards in Waverly Place that this new magic can be a great addition to their world, all while dealing with some who are prejudiced against his sexual orientation.
A fun crossover could also be with a time - travel - based show. The Wizards of Waverly Place could end up in a different time period and meet characters from that era who have their own unique magical abilities. They'd have to find a way back home while also dealing with the new magical situations in that time.
Another story could be about Alex Russo traveling back in time to the early days of Waverly Place and accidentally changing something that affects the present. She then has to figure out how to fix it while dealing with the differences in magic use from that era.
One interesting crossover could be a magical school exchange. Wizards from the Harry Potter universe visit Waverly Place's wizard school and vice versa. They could compare and contrast their different magical systems, like how spells are cast or potions are made. It would be really cool to see Harry Potter characters interact with the Russo family and their friends.
One common theme is coming out. Since the show has a magical world setting, it can be interesting to see how a character's magical identity and their sexual identity intersect during the coming - out process. For example, a wizard might be afraid of how their family's magical traditions will react to their homosexuality.
I also liked when the Russo family had to compete in the wizard family competition. The different challenges they faced and the unique spells they used were really exciting. It showed how creative they could be with their magic.
