What are some interesting plot ideas for a Harry Potter Wizards of Waverly Place fanfic?

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

A good 'Wizards of Waverly Place' fanfic often has well - developed characters. It should stay true to the personalities of the characters from the show, like Alex's sassiness or Justin's studiousness. Also, an interesting plot is key. Maybe it could be about a new magical adventure that the Russo family goes on.

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.

The 'coming - out' trope is quite common. It shows the journey of the gay wizard as he reveals his identity to his friends and family, often with some initial shock and then acceptance. For example, his best friend might be initially surprised but then stand up for him against bullies.
