Harry Potter Fans Reroute UK-Ireland Power Cable to Preserve Dobby's Grave Site

A planned power interconnector between the UK and Ireland was adjusted after Harry Potter fans protested that its original route would disturb a beach in Wales considered to be Dobby's grave. The site, a popular memorial for the fictional house-elf, drew enough public support to force the project's redesign. The move highlights how cultural landmarks can shape major infrastructure decisions.
