An important feature of fiction stories are the marvellous made-up characters in them, which beautify the whole story and give them a distinctive edge as compared to other books in the market. Likewise, in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince the curious role of Inferi has been marvellously described in order to highlight their contribution to the best-selling story.



Inferius (plural: Inferi), according to the book's legend, is a corpse which is controlled through the spells and enchantments of the Dark Wizard. It is not alive rather a dead body that has been charmed into pretending like a puppet for the witch or wizard, to convert his deadly thoughts into vicious actions. It appears as a white mist in the enchanted corpse's eyes.



According to the description given in the Half Blood Prince, the Inferi are unable to think for their selves. Their actions and thoughts are completely under the control of the Dark Wizard who has enchanted them and are liable for doing whatsoever they have been commanded, as they are primarily created to perform a special task and duty on his behalf.




This attribute is evident from the seaside cave in the Half Blood Prince in which the Inferi remained idle until and unless the time came for them to carry out their responsibility and attack the intruders into the cave. These Inferi, as are incapable of contemplating on whatsoever they do, thoughtlessly carry out their duties whether it produces any sort of results or not. This feature makes them a highly attractive portion of the account.



These are highly capable of repelling magic and are not affected by any spells or tricks. However, they highly resent fire or any other possible forms of light or heat as they are exposed to neither of these in the cave in the Half Blood Prince. In order to retreat from their attack, Dumbledore creates a ring of fire, around Harry and himself, out of his wand to repel them and escape from them.



If these Inferi fail to complete their tasks and are eventually defeated, they return to their idle state once again. They have been described as being the modified versions of zombies, which are instead given a separate identity in the legend of the Half Blood Prince.




As these creatures are powerful sources of exhibiting violent thoughts of Dark Wizards, that is the reason why impersonating the Inferi has been accepted as a crime worthy of imprisonment in Azkaban by the book otherwise it would become quite difficult to control the dark vicious clouds from gliding over and imprisoning the whole world in them.



The greatest fear that these marvellous fictions pose to Harry in the Half Blood Prince is that Voldemort can easily form a great army of them to exterminate his enemies, and spread darkness quickly and achieve his goals. He has used the Inferi to protect one of his Horcrux to protect and revive himself after any sort of deadly attack which is almost inevitable.
