Officials are asking HarryPotter fans to please stop leaving socks at an iconic film location because it’s become a serious environmental issue.
Please stop leaving socks on Freshwater West Beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales. That's the message that the National Trust of Wales has for Harry Potter fans following an eight-month review of the site. According to Entertainment Weekly, so many fans of Harry Potter have left socks on the beach — the site of the death scene for the beloved Dobby in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part One — that it's become an environmental issue.
Fans have since taken to leaving socks on the beach over the years as a shrine to the character, but it's become an issue. However, the National Trust has said that while they don't want people to continue to add socks and items to this shrine of sorts, they plan to leave the current memorial as it is.
"While we're delighted that so many want to visit, we have to balance the popularity of the site with impacts on the sensitive nature of the beach and wider environment, and pressure on the facilities and surrounding roads," another official with the National Trust Wales said.
