Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Announces Hogwarts For The Holidays Event

Niantic switched things up a bit with their Harry Potter: Wizards Unite announcement. Instead of laying out the whole month of events as usual, the mobile developed instead announced the details for just the next Brilliant Event, which will kick off a month of in-game holiday celebration. Here's the newly announced details of the Hogwarts for the Holidays Brilliant Event Part 1.
