A multimillion-dollar power link between the United Kingdom and Ireland has been diverted after distraught Harry Potter fans pointed out that its planned route would cut through a beach memorial dedicated to a beloved character from the series, Dobby the house-elf.
The £430 million Greenlink interconnector links the UK's National Grid power transmission network to Ireland via a 125-mile cable between Ireland's County Wexford on the southeast coast and Freshwater West, a beach in Wales' southwest, where the death of Dobby was filmed for the Potter movie franchise.
Originally, the undersea cable - whose purpose is to share excess renewable energy, boost security and double the electricity transfer capacity between the two nations - would have disturbed the symbolic grave where Potter fans leave handwritten tributes to the magical creature on pebbles.
But after a BBC News interview about the operation troubled fans, a torrent of concerned calls caused Simon Ludlam, CEO of project manager Etchea Energy, to rethink the cable's route, Ludlam revealed to the Energy Revolution podcast last week.
"We got hundreds of calls; I mean, hundreds of calls," he said.

| Dreamslinger by Graci Kim (Fiction- KIM) *WINNER NZBA JUNIOR FICTION 2026* Amari and the Night Brothers meets Pokémon in this thrilling start to Graci Kim's brand-new fantasy series where dragons and phoenixes roam the skies of Seoul; meals magically appear based on your mood; and dreams literally come to lifeFourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a safe haven for children born with a genetic mutation that transports them to a powerfully magical realm while they sleep. But this magic can be unpredictable—even deadly. After all, it was only ten years ago when members of the Royal League of Dreamslingers caused the Great Outburst—a tragedy that killed hundreds of people, including Aria's mom. Since then, Aria's dad has become leading expert on Dreamslin  ger Welfare, which means Aria knows better than most what it takes to keep society safe from her, and others like her: separation, identification, and most importantly, power suppression.So when the Kingdom of Royal Hanguk—home of the Dreamslinger League—announces the first Dreamslinger trials where teenage slingers from around the world are invited to compete for a chance to join the League and learn how to use their powers, Aria knows what she must do: join the trials and take down the League from the inside. But the Trials introduce Aria to a world of wonderous magic and friendship, a world where she finally feels like she belongs. And as dark secrets from the past are revealed—ones that make Aria question her very identity—she becomes even more determined to discover the truth for herself. She just has to survive the trials first. | ||
