Harry’s brain suggested that an obvious way to stop the Dementors from seeing Bellatrix was to make her stop existing, i.e., kill her. Harry congratulated his brain on thinking outside the box and told it to continue searching.
Kill her and then bring her back, came the next suggestion. Use Frigideiro to cool Bellatrix down to the point where her brain activity stops, then warm her up afterward using Thermos, just like people who fall into very cold water can be successfully revived half-an-hour later without noticeable brain damage.
Harry considered this. Bellatrix might not survive in her debilitated state. And it might not stop Death from seeing her. And he’d have trouble carrying a cold unconscious Bellatrix very far. And Harry couldn’t remember the research on which exact body temperature was supposed to be nonfatal but temporarily-brain-halting.
He’s familiar with cryonics then, or at least the concept of suspended animation.
It was another good outside-the-box idea, but Harry told his brain to keep thinking...
The next line implies that he’d have used the plan if he didn’t immediately think up a better one. Any plan he comes up with to save Hermione has to be at least as likely to succeed as cryonics.
