Harry Potter fans force relocation of £430m undersea cable to avoid Dobby’s ‘grave’

Harry Potter fans force relocation of £430m undersea cable to avoid Dobby’s ‘grave’Power cable linking UK and Ireland now passes near Bronze Age human burial remains instead of fictional grave on Welsh beach Harry Potter fans have forced a new multimillion-pound power cable between the UK and Ireland to be relocated after complaining it would desecrate the “grave” of Dobby, a fictional elf. The character was laid to rest on Freshwater West beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales, during the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fans of the wizard series now come to leave stones reading “Here Lies Dobby” despite being asked not to by the land owner, the National Trust, because the beach is an ecologically sensitive site.

What a bunch of fucking losers 

We really need to invent a new facial expression, because rolling one's eyes simply doesn't cut it for the modern stupidities. This well and truly is the Age of Dumb.

It'd be nice if @theguardian.com actually fact checked their stories.

JK Rowling's fantastical obsessions having an outsized influence on British society due to the unprincipled cowardice of British elites? No, surely this can't be the case. 🤡 country

Ответ для Chad

Indeed not. This is to do with obsessive fandom.

You know, I've never one thought about desecrating a grave. Until now. How much are flights to the UK? Just curious.

Gonna just repost this any time some Brit on this website wants their country to be taken seriously.

This is stupid as fuck, Harry Potter fans need to grow up, it’s embarrassing.

Absolute ghouls. Wretched bog people. People I would cross the street to avoid.

Did they aye? Why are you like this?

Fuck these people

It’s tempting to hold the HP fans on maximum contempt, but that should really be reserved for the spineless hacks who acquiesced to their insane demands

Huh... Is anyone surprised that die-hard "potterheads" have seemingly zero care for anything, but their make-believe world?

Ответ для Cataleast

So the sight is too ecologically sensitive for visitors to leave rocks but they can bury a cable there??

embarrassing

Just imagine if this was enough to change real world issues

Citizens' militia to destroy that piece of shit "grave"

They came dangerously close to some bronze age remains, but at least they avoided the ugly pile of rocks worshipped by a bunch of manchild bigots with genital fixations.

Do they even know Dobby was trans

Potter fans are such annoying fools.

Need a clever giant domino meme for this.

Wow, ridiculously hot weather today for April 1st.🥵 What, it's August? This story is real? And this country gets ever more ridiculous 🤦‍♂️🙄

Ответ для Steve F.

It's not real.

"The pottery vessel was uncovered within the remains of a low lying mound and it is suggested that it may have originally been an upstanding earthwork likely to be a Bronze Age round barrow or burial mound" Distubing actual burial mounds to preserve a fictional one. What a time to be alive!

Ответ для PindsvineSteve

To be fair, it appears the Bronze age remains were discovered during an archaeological evaluation and the cable was rerouted to avoid them. Guardian could have made that a bit clearer.

Ответ для PindsvineSteve

umm, “what a time to be deceased,” akshually

Ответ для PindsvineSteve

There’s nothing more Harry Potter fan than valuing fictional people over real people.

adult toddlers

At least it stops me feeling that the end of “civilisation” is a bad thing. Although still a bit sorry for all the millions of people across the world who haven’t yet attained our level of cultural sophistication!

The human race is becoming more infantilized?

JK Rowling to summon her flying monkeys to attack the project manager who had never heard of her house slave.

Oh my god, put a sock in it

Huh, turns out I *can* hate these genocidal pricks more than I already did.

To the tune of “We Care a Lot” by Faith No More: WE CARE A LOT About CGI elves and random piles of rocks. WE CARE A LOT About the bathrooms that are used by folks in frocks. WE CARE A LOT About Harry, Ronald and Hermione WE CARE A LOT About policing where the people get to pee.

Ответ для Maddie (delicious, nutritious)

Oh no, not the fictional character who was both annoying *and* barely tolerated by the main character, whose death impacted nothing and no-one. Better fuck up some real bronze age people instead.

The what of who?

I wonder if any of the countries adjunct to Britain resent that this woman has made their entire contiguous landmass a tourist trap for the most insufferable people imaginable.

We let these people vote.

Storing up my piss for this like Cotton Hill stored up his spit for the Japanese president.

Never thought I’d see annoying fans get worse than the Szechuan Sauce debacle. But nature finds a way!

"Power cable linking UK and Ireland now passes near Bronze Age human burial remains instead of fictional grave on Welsh beach" Wankers "despite being asked not to by the land owner, the National Trust, because the beach is an ecologically sensitive site" Double wankers

How incredibly stupid and utterlyridiculous. Proof that people weren't able to tell fact from fiction long before AI.

🙄

I think we need a guillotine or perhaps a wood chipper.

They do know he's a fictional character, right?

Read another fucking book.

How is the UK real?

Good to have reassurance the US doesn't have a monopoly on stupid

People love their fictional characters. For instance, try and suggest that Santa Claus wasn't crucified, rose from the grave, and brings presents to the kids of the world on his buddy Jesus' birthday, and that whole 'War on Christmas' thing starts up again. 🙄

Is this the onion wtf

B

It isn't so much those that believe Dobby is more than a figment of JKR's imagination, rather the quality of the management of some of these companies.

Ответ для El gran Amo, Maestro y Señor Supremo del universo. -rw-r--r--

WAIT WTF SEND ME THE SOURCE OF THAT😭

Whole ass fake grave for a mid ass character that appeared in like 2 movies dawg. Also like how come big companies bend the knee to shit like this like. Come tf on bro

it would be super funny if something else destroys it idk, these thing happen, right???

Ianto's shrine would never

The newest gender neutral toilet has been found in the UK

Ответ для GlowDonk - The Xbox Avatar Guy

It's apparently an ecologically sensitive site so you can't even piss on the fake grave in good conscience :(

Wow, who would have thought that people who support an evil person are also stupid

Destroy the terf grave

cult shit

Almost destroying actual history to appease a cult of twats. How very 2026.

It's JK Rowling's world and we are merely living in it

Ответ для anomander73

Rowling, Trump and Musk, shysters co. ltd.

Fuck Harry Potter fans for supporting that bigot bitch!

Did you know that if you removed every Harry Potter fan's intestines and laid them end to end it would be pretty funny?

Because HP fans in 2026 are a gang of emotionally stunted self centred cuntbags.

I heard it was a joke that The Grauniad took much too seriously 🤔

I wish I could say, "well that's clearly the stupidest thing I'll see today", but I'm not confident...

Fuck Harry Potter, tell them to eat shit.

It’s a fictional character from a mediocre series, holy shit, Harry Potter adults are so cringe.

Harry Potter fans should be regarded with the same amount of disgust as pedophiles

☄️

Ответ для รℓσαɳε ℓყรɓεƭɦ 🏳️‍🌈

totally agree, I wish more people would realize this but eventually, I hope they will.

Ok I hate Harry Potter fans now.

Okay, this is the final proof people are stupid. And I don’t mean the fans who were upset (we already knew that). I mean the professionals planning the route.

You mean it’s a real place? I thought it was all CGI and green screens. Meanwhile my son absolutely loved visiting the ‘sad cafe’ where the losers of The Apprentice had a tea and a moan. Hope that gets a blue plaque.

fucking children

We should relocate adult Harry Potter fans to under the sea

Being a Harry Potter Adult should be added to the DSM-VI or whatever number they're on

Ответ для Stanzo Brand

See also being a Disney parks adult.

I just don’t understand this sentence

Harry Potter fans genuinely need to be put into death camps

They’re obnoxious and alarmingly stupid, but we all already knew that.

Ответ для Bophades

it’s morally correct to knock over Harry Potter merch and books anywhere they’re sold

time to bring back beating up nerds

We need Dobby about now. He could snap his fingers and make the eco vandals and their paid for politicians disappear, so that we could start to undo all the damage they have done to our beautiful world.

Pathetic

Aw spolier alert. Cheers....

I think you should fire Big Back Helena for falling for this crap
