Harry Potter fans have successfully pressured developers to reroute the 125-mile Greenlink power connector, a £430 million project linking the UK's National Grid to Ireland between County Wexford and Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. The original route would have passed through the site of Dobby the house elf's grave, a popular fan pilgrimage spot from the Harry Potter films. The grave, marked by a pile of stones and the words 'here lies Dobby', is located at Freshwater West beach. The article, published on Marginal REVOLUTION, notes the fan victory with a sarcastic comment comparing the situation to Voldemort's hypothetical intolerance.
