P.S.This is not Aishwarya Rai.Though I wish Aish's daughter be a better actor (obviously she's deemed to be) than both her parents. 20 years down the line.My kids and I will go for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus DEVDAS PART 2 starring  SRK's son romancing the Bachchan Bachchi while Salman Khan will still be around playing the drunken Chunni Lal.Who gets to play Chandramukhi? Katrina or her daughter? Akon' son will bag a prestigious offer to sing Chhamak Chhallo (remixed and rapped) instead of Dola re Dola..

Daily Trivia #516 Wizards of a Wordy Place

This one comes from a die-hard fan of Harry Potter, SLR:

Non-magic people (more commonly known as Muggles) were particularly afraid of magic in 

medieval times, but not very good at recognizing it. On the rare occasion that they did catch a 

real witch or wizard, burning had no effect whatsoever. The witch or wizard would perform a 

basic Flame-Freezing Charm and then pretend to shriek with pain while enjoying a gentle, 

tickling sensation. Indeed, Wendelin the Weird enjoyed being burned so much that she allowed 

herself to be caught no less than forty-seven times in various disguises. 

A paragraph cited from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which describes hunting and tracking of the (non-existent) witches in an unmentioned era.

Connect with the above para with the factual description below:

Over 150 people were arrested and imprisoned. All twenty-six who went to trial before this court were convicted.

The two courts convicted twenty-nine people of the capital felony of a particular supposed crime. 

Nineteen of the accused, fourteen women and five men, were executed by hanging. 

One man, Giles Corey, refused to enter a plea and was crushed to death under heavy stones in an attempt to force him to do so. 

The episode is one of the most famous cases of mass hysteria, and has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, lapses in due process, and local governmental intrusion on individual liberties.

Should be a simple google query but, for the sake of quizzing, please comment with your best guess.  :)

And best of luck for the end sems to everyone!

1. The movie Delhi Belly featured a song with the following lyrics:
   "Bhaag Bhaag D K Bose,D K Bose,....Aandhi Aayi Hai"
   Though it seemed like using a certain name in its lyrics, it turned into a profane word while singing.
   Which english term describes this condition where you misinterpret a phrase to a totally different
   meaning. Even this term came out of mishearing a particular phrase.
