Public uproar over plans that might disturb Dobby's grave

The grave site has been under threat before, after it was noted that it’s on an “environmentally senstive” beach. It attracts an undue amount of visitors who tend to leave tokens of respect such as socks, trinkets and painted pebbles, all of which “could enter the marine environment and food chain and put wildlife at risk.”. In the end, plans to relocate it were similarly defeated.
