Have you read any of the Discworld books?
Zombies such as Reg Shoe would have more sense than to drink the HHC. OTOH, the job requirements for a wizard? A couple of quotes from Terry Pratchett:

"Any true wizard, faced with a sign like ‘Do not open this door. Really. We mean it. We’re not kidding. Opening the door will mean the end of the universe,’ would automatically open the door in order to see what all the fuss was about."

"If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
