A proposed UK-Ireland power cable project has been diverted to protect a memorial site dedicated to the fictional character Dobby from the Harry Potter franchise. The site, located on a beach in Wales, serves as a grave marker for the elf character who appears in the book and film series. Project managers confirmed the change following public outcry from fans who objected to the potential disruption of the landmark.

The relocation follows complaints raised after a project manager discussed the cable route during a media interview. The memorial, which commemorates the character known for his loyalty and pursuit of freedom, remains a significant point of interest for fans of the series, leading to the decision to adjust the infrastructure plans to preserve the site.
