This season Jennifer plays a bigger part in the lives of the wizard family, as Harper moves in with the Russos. Unaware of the Russos' magical ability, Harper tries her best to get her friend Alex out of trouble whenever she can. Harper has her own sense of style and makes her own clothes whenever she can, even if she's the only one who thinks they're fabulous.
Born February 12, 1993 in Arlington, Texas, Jennifer began her stage career at the age of six after many hours of watching her brother rehearse for community theater productions. By the time she was eight, she signed with an agent and began auditioning for voice over work and commercials including Los Angeles Credit Union, Hasbro and Time Warner Digital, among others.
Jennifer starred as Harper Finkle in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie." She's also recognized for her role as the great-niece of Robert Duvall and Michael Caine's characters in the critically acclaimed 2003 feature film "Secondhand Lions." Stone also guest starred in "Without A Trace" and "House."
She has her own monthly advice column, "Ask Jennifer," in Tiger Beat magazine.
When not working, she enjoys sports including rock climbing, ice skating, tennis, and many forms of dance. She also enjoys drawing, creating her own fashion style, and spending time with her friends.
