About Max Russo

Season 1

Max Russo is the youngest of the Russos. He also appears to be the dumbest. His full powers sink in early in Season 1, putting Max in the wizard competition with his two older siblings, Alex and Justin. Only one sibling can keep their powers when they grow up.

Season 2

Max is in seventh grade as mentioned in "Smarty Pants". He has one friend, Alfred, who only appears for two episodes. In "Harper Knows", which first aired March 15 2009, he celebrates his birhtday by sledding on a volcano. In the next episode "Alex Does Good" his age is revealed to be 13, which is the normal age for a seventh grader. Max gets to board the S.S. Tipton in "Cast Away (To Another Show)" where he meets Zack Martin from "Suite Life on Deck".

Season 3

Max is now getting older and developing more of an interest in girls. This gets him in trouble when he almost exposes wizardry to a girl named Nancy. The family manages to convince her that Max was lying. Ironically, Justin is the one who exposes magic in the season finale when the Russos are held hostage at a government facility.

Season 4

After returning home from the government facility only to learn that it was fake, Alex and Justin get in trouble. They are accused of exposing wizardry to the world even though it was just a test. They are both kicked out of the wizard competition, putting Max in the lead. With this advantage, Max decides to move back the wizard competition so he will be sure to win. This causes him to get into a fight with his siblings who accidently turn him into a little girl. Max uses this as an opportunity to talk to his crush Talia. By the time he turns back into himself Talia already wants to date him. Max does not win the wizard competition so father says that he can run the family resturant when he gets older. The last episode aired January 6 2012. In this episode Max implies that he is 16, when he will not actually be 16 for another 2 months.
