It's the most common place people know about the Basilisk from these
days. Just like the most common place people have seen Hugh Laurie is in
House, so when referencing him often people will say "Hugh Laurie - you
know, the guy on House"? It doesn't matter that he's very well known for
UK programmes like Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Jeeves and
Wooster; over here in the US, chances are better that you've heard of
Hosue than the others (though that in and of itself is sad).
