Power cable rerouted around Harry Potter 'grave' collided with real Bronze Age burials
Harry Potter fans persuaded planners to divert a £430m UK-Ireland power cable away from Dobby's "grave" at a Welsh beach. The rerouted 125-mile interconnector — a cross-border electricity link — instead passed near genuine Bronze Age burial urns and human remains. Hundreds of fan objections reshaped the project, trading a fictional memorial for protected archaeology.
