> The fans’ resistance to having Dobby’s “grave” desecrated seemingly prevented the undersea cable from going through the area. It was instead rerouted in an area that was close to some Bronze Age remains and urns, which, ironically, are associated with human burial.
- Swizec 2mo ago> instead rerouted in an area that was close to some Bronze Age remains and urns To be fair, in the UK (and much of Europe) bronze age remains are everywhere. But there’s only 1 fictional Dobby grave. Like farmers will regularly dig up a bronze age thingamabob while plowing a field. For example [1], [2]. There’s a story like this every couple of years.

- yehoshuapw 2mo agowhile I do agree with this point, I want to point out that this isn't quite a fair comparison. every single entity has (normally) a single (real) burial site. Us grouping many unknowns in one group, and comparing to a single specific one is not quite fair... there is only one burial site of many other fictional characters including some other well known and beloved ones.
- dofm 2mo agoThere’s another! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd1l6vm84d0o https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd1l6vm84d0o
- nkrisc 2mo agoSince it’s a fictional grave, you can build it anywhere you want, as many times as you want.
- zzrrt 2mo agoBut this is the one and only burial place pictured in the movie that people watched. You can't change that now.
- nkrisc 2mo agoIf they can use their imaginations to pretend it’s a real grave, they can use their imagination to pretend a different pretend grave in a different location is the real one.
- Rebelgecko 2mo agoTBF, human burial sites are a dime a dozen. There's relatively few locations associated with house elf remains.
- tgv 2mo agoNone, to be precise.
- rcxdude 2mo agoThey didn't say the location contained them, just that it was associated with them, which obviously it is for at least some fraction of the population.
- saalweachter 2mo agoWhile we're pedanting, I believe the location is where his death scene was filmed; he was buried somewhere else. Because beaches are terrible places for graves, one good storm, the beach shifts and you've got to bury them all over again.
- skeeter2020 2mo agomaybe go back and watch the movie; it shows Harry digging his grave slightly above the high tide line, same location.
