Dobby remains one of the most beloved characters from the Harry Potter franchise, but Simon Ludlam, the project manager of the $581 million Greenlink Interconnector, was surprised to discover just how strong that affection remained.
After announcing plans to connect the UK’s national grid to Ireland through a 125-mile subsea cable between County Wexford and Freshwater West, a Pembrokeshire beach where the fictional elf’s demise scene was filmed, Ludlam said his team received “hundreds of calls” from concerned fans.
They vigorously urged them to avoid disturbing the character’s memorial, and their pleas were ultimately taken into consideration.
