His death was filmed – as part of the films who carried the story of JKRowling to the cinema – on the beach at Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire, Welsh.

And in that place a stone appeared that pays homage to Dobby, and then another, and then another…Now, a survey commissioned by the National Trust, the National Foundation for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty in the United Kingdomhas asked for opinions on whether or not this kind of tomb should remain on this beach.

Socks

The survey asks 30 questions about Freshwater West, run by the National Trust, including questions about traffic, parking and toilets in the area. But it also asks two questions about Dobby’s grave, asking whether it should be removed or move to a “right place public accessoutside the venue”.

Dobby is one of the most beloved characters in the magical world created by JKRowling.

The tomb consists mainly of stones with messages for the house elfplayed by Toby Jones in the film series, but people are also said to leave socks on the spot. In the franchise, house elves are only released from bondage if they are given clothes. secrets, Harry Potter makes sure that Dobby receives a sock from its owners, the Malfoy family.

tribute and beauty

Victoria MacLean, a Harry Potter fan from the town of Neath, told the BBC there should be a compromise as to what is left in the grave.

“Leaving a sock fresh is lovely, but after a while that sock probably gets covered in all kinds of stuff. Regarding the pebbles, some people have gone out of their way to paint some of them, just to leave something in memory of one of their favorite characters, and it’s very nice to see”.

For this follower of the saga, if they remove all the elements that make up this tomb, the followers will build another one.

“There has to be something that pleases the fans and at the same time keeps the beauty of the beachbecause it is an impressive beach”.

The situation on the beach has gotten a little out of control.

“In recent years we have seen an increase in visitors who want to experience all that Freshwater West has to offer, including its beautiful beach.”, reported National Trust Wales.

“We love to welcome people to the place, but the increased number it means your facilities and infrastructure are under even greater pressure. We want visitors to have a pleasant and safe experience, while ensuring that this special landscape is cared for for future generations.”, he added.

“A study is now underway to help us understand the issues further and consider options for a sustainable future for Freshwater West, including the Dobby Memorial.

“One of the options that we look for in the survey is to move the monument to a suitable place of public access”.

The survey is open until May 31.
