In a gripping turn of events, fans of the beloved Harry Potter series have successfully campaigned to divert a £430 million ($580 million) power line project away from Dobby's grave site in Wales. The memorial, a popular tourist destination where fans pay tribute to the beloved house-elf character, was at risk of being disturbed by the Greenlink interconnector - an undersea power cable set to run between the UK mainland and Ireland. Project manager Simon Ludlam initially dismissed concerns, but after receiving "hundreds of calls" from passionate fans, he was quick to reconsider, ultimately rerouting the project to protect Dobby's resting place. Archaeological excavations on the new route revealed Bronze Age activity linked to real-life burials dating back up to 4,000 years. With the site now secured, fans can continue their pilgrimage, leaving behind painted stones and messages such as "Dobby you are free now." The UK's National Trust, which owns the site, has previously requested that fans refrain from leaving socks behind due to environmental concerns. As for Dobby, it seems his story may live on in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter TV reboot. While we won't see the filming of that particular moment for another decade, with episodes expected to be released from this Christmas until the early 2040s, fans can rest easy knowing Dobby's grave remains undisturbed.
