Character information

Harper Evans is a typical 9th grade girl -- kind, smart, a bit dorky and a fashion lover. Her best friend is Alex, a wizard, unbeknownst to Harper.

Harper has a large and often obsessive crush on Alex's brother Justin, however, she is afraid of talking to him. In her mind Justin is her boyfriend, despite the fact that he has a girlfriend. Harper is jealous of Miranda, Justin's girlfriend, and claims that they look alike.

Harper is an avid fashion designer and makes a lot of her own clothes, most of which are not considered to be in style. She implied in one episode that she uses egg cartons to make some of her clothes. The clothes she does buy are also quite dorky such as a sunflower top and rainbow socks. Harper's outfits have also been known to match occasions -- in "New Employee", Harper applies for a job at the Russo sandwich shop, and goes as far as to wear a shirt with a sandwich on it, a headband with a plastic tomato and lettuce, and french fry earrings.

Harper is very confident in herself. Despite her unseemly fashion choices, she is not afraid to go out in the open, and believes that it is better to stand out as an individual. She is also a loyal friend, and is not scared to back Alex up.

Harper almost found out that Alex was a wizard in "Alex's Choice" and "The Supernatural".

According to an interview with Selena Gomez by J-14 Magazine "I think my best friend is going to find out that I have powers, so it's going to be interesting".

Jennifer Stone missed 9 episodes due to her fliming of Dadnapped.
