Jennifer Stone Set for “Harriet the Spy”
November 7, 2009 by Julie Bonner
Wizards of Waverly Place cutie Jennifer Stone is set to star as Harriet Welsch in Disney Channel’s “Harriet the Spy”! I am so excited for Jennifer. She is such an amazing actress and deserves a lead role like this. We had the chance to chat with her back in March and she is so nice and funny.
The live action TV movie is set to air sometime next year.
“Jennifer Stone is a great talent for our network,” sad Disney Channel programming head David Levine. “We know kids love to see series stars in movies.”
“Harriet the Spy” was made into a movie back in 1996 with Michele Trachtenberg playing Harriet. It’s based on a best selling novel and is about Harriet who is determined to become a famous author. In the meantime, she practices by following a regular spy route each day and writing down everything she sees in her secret notebook. Her life is turned upside down when her classmates find her notebook and read it aloud!
A huge congrats to Jennifer Stone!

I am looking forward to this… it’s been so long since I watched the original, & I certainly couldn’t watch it again (Rosie O’Donnell is the most disgusting thing in America). Stone’s great on Waverly. Will you tweet about it before it premieres on TV so I don’t miss it?
