Talk:Zombie

Zombie
In the Daily Prophet Newsletters, there is reference to a Zombie Trail, where tourists can "experience the thrill of coming face to face with the living dead." This canonically establishes that zombies are undead creatures, but it remains unknown how, if at all, they differ from Inferi. Perhaps zombies are made through a different necromantic process and behave differently than Inferi, or, alternatively, "zombie" may simply be another word for "Inferius." It might be a word used by Muggles to describe a magical phenomenon — like "mind-reading" for Legilimency — and, since Quirrel taught Muggle Studies before DADA, it makes sense that he would know it. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f (Owl me!) 02:55, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
