Dobby memorial can stay on Wales beach, but officials urge Harry Potter fans to stop leaving socks
CBSN
Environmental officials in the United Kingdom have asked Harry Potter fans to stop bringing socks and other items to a memorial for the character Dobby, as they could be harmful to the local wildlife. The popular destination — Freshwater West, a beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales — is home to a memorial for the fictional house elf, where fans from far and wide travel to pay their respects and lay socks in his honor.
"The memorial to Dobby will remain at Freshwater West in the immediate term for people to enjoy," said Jonathan Hughes, the assistant director of operations at the National Trust Cymru — the environmental agency that recently evaluated Freshwater West.
Every Harry Potter fan remembers the moment Harry and the gang laid the beloved house elf to rest in a sandy grave on the beach. It's an unforgettable scene — so much so that, over a decade after "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" premiered in theaters, fans of the franchise still visit Dobby's burial grounds to pay tribute to the loyal character.
