Harry Potter fans force reroute of £430m cross-border cable to spare Dobby’s grave

TL;DR Summary
Harry Potter fans pressured planners to reroute the £430m Greenlink undersea interconnector between the UK and Ireland to avoid disturbing the fictional grave of Dobby at Freshwater West; the new route avoids the grave but passes near Bronze Age urns, with the ecologically sensitive beach owned by the National Trust.
