  • A memorial site to Harry Potter character Dobby the Elf has been saved after fears it was causing environmental issues.
    The plot at Freshwater West beach in Wales is often visited by fans leaving hand painted rocks and socks at the location where Dobby died in the Deathly Hallows film.
    However, concerns about high visitor numbers and pollution regarding the gifts left to the character, led to a survey on its possible relocation.
    But a consultation by National Trust Wales, which manages the beach, concluded it can stay "in the immediate term".

    I mean. A fake grave for a fake character is far less important than a living thing. No matter the size of it. So although a thoughtful thing to do. If it's causing harm to something that actually lives then in my honest opinion it should go.
    How can anyone justify killing something for a memory of something that actually never lived.

    They should recycle the stones for tourists. Like hauling stones from the site to a store, nearby, from where tourists can buy (money going to charity) a stone to be placed at the site. Also, instead of placing socks at the site, tourists should have the choice to donate money for an item of clothing which will be bought for homeless people. Finally, a museum where tourists can donate painted messages and other trinkets they want placed at the site. Instead of the trinkets and paint getting washed away and damaging the environment, they can be displayed in the museum.
