After thenew Adversaries featurelaunched inHarry Potter: Wizards Uniteat the end of 2020, there is now a brand new type of recurring event for witches and wizards to enjoy. As many players were hoping after December’s surprise Adversaries event, it seems that the new event type will be popping up on a recurring basis - with the January edition kicking off today.
The January 2021 Adversaries event inHarry Potter: Wizards Unitebegins on January 19 and runs through January 22. Just like the December event, this one will feature select increased Adversaries appearing on the game map and a short chain of tasks for players to work through in order to earn some exciting rewards along the way.

Players will get a chance to face off against some different Adversaries this month as the event putsAncient Hungarian Horntail, Draco Malfoy, and Fenrir Greyback into the spotlight. Hopefully these increased Adversary encounters should be enough to help players work through all of the tasks that are available during the short event…

Surprisingly, many players actually had a hard time finishing the list of tasks during the December event window. There were some pretty vocal complaints from the community and Niantic listened to the feedback and has adjusted the requirements and trace density going forward. Hopefully that will make things a little more doable this time around and offer the average player a fighting chance.
Once again, there is a very strong list of task and completion rewards, so the developers are clearly looking to motivate players into checking out the new feature and giving Adversaries a try if they haven’t already.The pile of DADA booksshould almost certainly be enough to motivate the average player to participate. This feature already has some positive buzz in the community, so it seems very likely that this will go on to be a very popular event.
