# Harry Potter fans reroute £430m power link for Dobby’s grave 2026-08-10T19:01:10+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet According to a Times of India report, Harry Potter fans have forced a change in the route of a £430 million undersea power cable linking the UK and Ireland. The Greenlink interconnector was initially planned to come ashore at Freshwater West beach in Wales, the site where the beloved house-elf Dobby's death was filmed and where a makeshift memorial now stands. Project manager Simon Ludlam said his firm received hundreds of calls after a BBC interview revealed the planned route. The cable was moved to avoid the memorial, though it now passes close to genuine Bronze Age archaeological remains, including an inverted pottery vessel dating to around 1700-1500 BC. The memorial had previously survived a controversy with the National Trust in 2022. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Dobby, fan protests, Greenlink interconnector, Harry Potter, infrastructure, Wales Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/harry-potter-fans-reroute-430m-power-link-for-dobbys-grave/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
