The Greenlink undersea cable is being rerouted due to concerns regarding Dobby, a character from the Harry Potter series. According to Golem.de, the new cable will now move away from the controversial pilgrimage site that is popular among fans of the franchise.

Instead, the cable will run alongside an area that contains actual archaeological finds from the Bronze Age. This step is intended to ensure that both cultural and historical sites are respected. The planned route of the cable has thus undergone a significant adjustment.
