From the “be so for real” files…
Harry Potter fans successfully forced a $577 million power project to reroute its cable to avoid Dobby’s fictional “grave” at Freshwater West beach, where the house elf’s death scene was filmed.
Hundreds protested the original route, prompting Greenlink planners to move the roughly 125-mile cable elsewhere. The INSANE reality of this move? The new route runs closer to actual Bronze Age burial remains, including ancient human burial urns.
So, in the end, hundreds of fans rallied to protect a fictional elf’s “grave,” and it worked. The actual Bronze Age remains nearby presumably didn’t have a Twitter account.
