A £430-million power cable project was rerouted to avoid Dobby’s unofficial “grave” at Freshwater West beach in Wales after Harry Potter fans objected. Greenlink project manager Simon Ludlam said hundreds contacted the project after learning its planned cable route crossed the memorial. Planners subsequently found another route around the site, which appeared in the Harry Potter films.
A fictional elf has managed to alter the course of a multimillion-pound power project in the real world, after Harry Potter fans objected to a planned cable route through the spot they regard as Dobby’s “grave” on a Welsh beach.
The character was laid to rest on Freshwater West beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Since then, fans of the wizard series have turned the location into an unofficial memorial, leaving stones bearing the words “Here Lies Dobby”.
The tributes have continued despite the National Trust, which owns the land, asking visitors not to leave them because the beach is an ecologically sensitive site.
