16. Future Harper

Complete story — includes the ending

Alex, Justin and Max discover that a famous author ( Rachel Dratch ) is using their lives as the premise for her best-selling book series, Charmed and Dangerous. However, the wizards are shocked learning that the author, H.J. Darling, is really Harper from the future. It is revealed that she traveled back in time to write about wizards, since wizardry gets exposed in the future (the fault of one of the three Russos, as Future Harper hints). Alex is enraged that Harper has been writing books about her without permission. Future Harper tells Justin that he must convince Alex to give Past Harper permission to write the series. In the end of the episode, Selena Gomez and Rob Reiner comically talk about the importance of reading. Special guest stars: Rachel Dratch as H.J. Darling, Rob Reiner as himself Absent: Maria Canals Barrera as Theresa Russo, David DeLuise as Jerry Russo
