Jennifer Stone From Wizards Of Waverly Place Is Unrecognizable Now

Following her role as Harper, Jennifer Stone decided to pursue her education before getting back into acting. Stone told International Business Times, "I'd been acting since I was six, so I took a break to go to school to just make sure that this is what I wanted to do and to just explore other options."

That isn't to say that she stopped acting altogether, though, following her time on "Wizards of Waverly Place." Firstly, she starred in 2019's "Santa Girl" where she played Cassie Claus, the fictional daughter of Santa Claus. There viewers got to see Stone in a different light, not only as a lead role, but in a much more subdued look compared to the fashions of Harper. Furthermore, Stone has become a registered nurse, who has been assisting on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (per Deadline). "Our hospital has definitely been impacted as I think every healthcare facility probably has," she said, later adding, "I think, as a nurse you're just hit with it a lot more upfront and to be honest, I look at it this way: During a 12-hour shift, it's not about me. It's about putting myself aside to help somebody else."

Stone still performs her day job as a nurse while pursuing acting/ In fact she is slated to star a pre-production project titled "The Perfect Night" according to IMDb. While "Wizards of Waverly Place" fans will always have Harper in their hearts, the actor -– and the nurse -– that Stone has transformed into is truly remarkable.
