Dobby's Grave Triggers Detour of £430m UK-Ireland Power Link
Harry Potter fans pressured planners to reroute the £430m Greenlink interconnector between the UK and Ireland so it wouldn’t disturb a memorial to Dobby the House Elf at Freshwater West. After hundreds of calls, the cable route was diverted away from the grave, with nearby Bronze Age remains noted in planning documents, and the project proceeding to connect the National Grid to Ireland while preserving the memorial.
