January's Harry Potter album in Monopoly GO can feel like it's trolling you a bit—pages nearly done, then boom, you're gated by golds. I've watched people burn through rolls chasing "just one more pack," and it's rough. If you're trying to keep momentum for the next grind, some players even

so they're not starting events already behind, but right now the big story is the Golden Blitz window that finally gives you a proper shot at trading the golds you actually need.Dates and the two golds everyone's talking aboutThe Blitz is set for January 15 to January 16, and it's the classic 24-hour sprint. Two gold stickers get unlocked for trading: Hermione's Arrival from Set 22, plus Amortentia from Set 16. If you're anywhere near the end of the album, you already know Set 22 is where progress goes to die. That's why this pairing matters. One of these might be the exact cork in your bottle, keeping a whole set reward (and a pile of dice) out of reach.How Golden Blitz trades really work in practiceWhen the event starts, you'll see the Blitz badge in-game and it'll show the two featured golds. No weird steps, no secret menu. The key bit: you get five special "gold sends" for those two stickers, and they don't chew up your normal daily trades. So you can move the featured golds around and still do your usual swapping for everything else. It's perfect if you're trying to clear multiple gaps fast, or if you're the friend who always ends up being the group's sticker courier.Trading tactics so you don't waste the windowDon't leave this to the last hour. The market gets chaotic, and the people with the best leverage are the ones who post early and reply fast. Before the Blitz begins, check your duplicates and make a simple list of what you've got versus what you need. Screenshots help, but clear messages help more. If you've got Hermione's Arrival, ask for a fair trade that completes a set, not a random pile of stars. And if you're hunting one of these, line up a trade buddy ahead of time—refreshing threads for replies is a miserable way to spend a limited event.Closing sets and keeping your paceDuring Blitz, think like a set-closer, not a vault-hoarder. Stars are nice, sure, but finishing a page is where the real dice are. If you're short on resources and want to stay competitive across events, some players use

to top up game currency and items so they can keep rolling and trading without stalling out, which can make the difference when you're one gold away and time's running out.
