"Harry Potter" Fans Divert Undersea Power Cable to Avoid Dobby's Memorial in Wales
Hundreds of Harry Potter fans complained the route would cut through Dobby’s grave, prompting planners to shift the £430 million cable.
- Harry Potter fans successfully prompted the diversion of the £430m Greenlink energy project away from a popular memorial to Dobby at Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire.
- Following "hundreds of calls" from concerned fans, project manager Simon Ludlam of Etchea Energy rerouted the cable to avoid the memorial feared to go "straight through Dobby's grave."
- The £430m Greenlink interconnector links the National Grid to Ireland via a 125-mile cable, now operational and powering 380,000 homes.
- During the HS2 project, officials spent £100m on a 1km tunnel to protect rare bats in Buckinghamshire, illustrating similar conservationist pressures facing major infrastructure.
- Archaeological trenches near the cable route "contained the rim of an inverted pottery vessel whose fabric suggests a Bronze Age collared urn circa 1700-1500BC, typically associated with human burial.
