Wizards of Waverly Place star reveals why Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus didn’t appear in crossover together

While Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Cyrus (Hannah Montana) both appeared in the episode, they only did so in separate scenes. On Monday’s (July 29) episode of her Wizards of Waverly Pod podcast, Stone, who starred as Harper Finkle, Alex Russo’s (Gomez) best friend, explained the behind-the-scenes drama that kept the leads apart.

Earlier this year, a Wizards of Waverly Place reboot was greenlit, with Gomez set to reprise her role in the pilot.

Gomez, too, was 13 when she rose to fame as the lead of Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012.
