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.

and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling)
