How her age is calculated
Gomez was born on July 22, 1992, according to Biography.com. The original series premiered on October 12, 2007, according to D23. Subtracting the dates puts her at 15 years old on premiere day.
What she starred in
Gomez played Alex Russo, one of three wizard siblings in training, alongside Justin and Max. D23’s series entry identifies Gomez among the stars. Biography.com describes the 2007 casting as her first starring role.
Premiere, finale, and movie dates
The October 2007 date refers to the television series, not the later movie. D23 dates the series finale to January 6, 2012. Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie was a separate release, arriving August 28, 2009, according to Disney Movies.

#1 Best Overall
Disney+’s series listing displays “2007 – 2010” and four seasons, while D23 gives the finale date as January 6, 2012. For the original broadcast run’s stated end date, D23 provides the explicit finale date; the Disney+ range is catalog metadata, not a definitive endpoint for the series.
