'Dobby's grave' won't be removed from a protected Welsh beach, but Harry Potter fans have been asked to stop leaving socks there

The National Trust Cymru will allow a shrine to Dobby the house elf — a character in the Harry Potter series — to remain at a Welsh beach after floating the idea of removing it.  

Fans created a memorial to the beloved character at Freshwater West beach, which is part of a protected conservation area, where scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and Part II were filmed. 

Dobby is killed towards the end of the first instalment and is buried up on a dune overlooking the Welsh beach.
