London: J K Rowling did not feature zombies in her 'Harry Potter' books because she is a huge fan of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' where the 'King of Pop' danced as a zombie.
J K Rowling updated her latest entry on the 'Harry Potter' publishing website Pottermore where she talks about animated corpses which Voldemort used to guard his Horcrux and why she created the species 'Inferi' and also unexpectedly mentioned Jackson, reported Ace Showbiz.

"Lastly, zombies have been represented and reinterpreted on film so often in the last fifty years that they have a whole raft of associations that were of no use to me. I'm part of the 'Thriller' generation; to me, a zombie will always mean Michael Jackson in a bright red bomber jacket," Rowling said.

Thirty-one years after Michael Jackson gifted us with the world's greatest music video, the zombies of "Thriller" are looking to rise from the dead again.

John Landis -- who helmed the 14-minute clip back in 1983 -- recently announced that the "Thriller" music video will be getting the 3D treatment in 2015. "It is going to reappear in a highly polished and three-dimensional way that is very exciting on the big screen." Landis told New York Daily News.

Landis' lengthy legal battle with Michael Jackson's Estate kept the idea of a revamped "Thriller" in limbo for years. But now that the dispute is over, Landis wants to bring it to theaters and Blu-ray in the near future.

"Thriller" redux won't be MJ's first 3D movie. Back in 1986, Michael Jackson starred in Captain EO, a sci-fi musical directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by George Lucas that played in Disney's Epcot center. Fingers crossed that 17-minute mind trip is coming to Blu-ray soon, too.
