Dobby’s Grave Saves Power Cable Route | Adelaide News
About this episode
A $825 million power cable project connecting Wales and Ireland had to reroute after fans erupted in outrage—over plans to disturb Dobby’s makeshift grave from Harry Potter, now a beloved shrine at Freshwater West beach. Despite the cable already being installed, project managers bowed to fan pressure, shifting the path to avoid the site that sees 75,000 visitors yearly, who leave painted stones and socks as tributes. While the route also avoided an ancient Bronze Age urn without issue, this episode proves how fiercely fandom can shape even the biggest infrastructure decisions—and how deeply Harry Potter still resonates.
