Harry Potter: Wizards Unite’s new Adversaries update unleashes iconic villains from the Wizarding World

Niantic and Warner Bros. Games has released a new update for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite on iOS and Android devices, and it introduces a new feature which ties in nicely to other entries in the franchise.

The update, which is touted as a big expansive one, is dubbed Adversaries and introduces some villains from the iconic book and film franchise into the game, including Draco Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, and Bellatrix Lestrange.

In what is perhaps the biggest feature release of the year for the real world augmented reality game, Adversaries is an all-new way for you to face off against these powerful enemies in the real world and build up the power to duel these iconic villains from the franchise.
