A £430M power project connecting Britain and Ireland was rerouted after Harry Potter fans raised concerns that its proposed route would pass through a makeshift memorial to Dobby, the much-loved house elf.
Known as the Greenlink interconnector, the project connects Great Britain and Ireland's electricity grids via 190km of subsea and underground cables. The route links County Wexford with Pembrokeshire, where the cable makes landfall at Freshwater West. The Welsh beach served as the filming location for Dobby's death and burial scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The 500MW link became operational in early 2025.
