| Mar 22, 2018 at 11:09 | comment | added | Paul | But also, bits would probably crystallize and fall off well short of 1K. No need to pick them at all. | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 9:15 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @Raditz_35 True; −1K was what I meant. And I think the joke’s been good and well killed now. (Plus, if we’re going to pick nits, there’s no such thing as -1K either—it’d be −1K.) | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 9:11 | comment | added | Raditz_35 | @JanusBahsJacquet there is no degree Kelvin (°K). You just have K. 1K or if you insist -1K | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 9:05 | comment | added | Raditz_35 | The movie is the one that is furthest away from the books and they took a lot if liberties (for good reason I might add). I believe asking such questions is misunderstanding the film. It takes you on a ride to a magical land. It's not about building a world. It's a fairytale where things are the way they are. It's about how things feel and not about how things work | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 8:57 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @Shreedhar It’s –1°K (well, –0.85°K). ;-) | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 8:46 | comment | added | Shreedhar | @JanusBahsJacquet that's cold man! :p you could have just said 1K | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 8:15 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | Approximately –274°C. | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 7:42 | comment | added | Florian Schaetz | Rule of Cool? It has nothing to do with thermodynamics, but is simply magic that allows for some substances to be more affected than others. One could hand-wave a magi-theoretical explanation, but personally, I guess "Rule of Cool" is the most likely. | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 5:25 | comment | added | Memor-X | At the start of the film i'm quite sure it shows the windows freeze over when the Dementors were on the train (which i recall Harry describing in the book). i thought this was because Dementors like embody fear and a common trope is that things which are truly fighting causes the tempeture to drop or even freeze (ie. Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust when Meier Link rides though the town) | |
