Sarah Pratt is a wiz with butter. Just ask her next subject, Harry Potter.
A sculpture of Potter will be made using butter. It will be shown next month at the Iowa State Fair. Next to it will be a sculpture of a dairy cow.
The fair and Pratt wanted to make a sculpture of something popular. They thought Harry Potter would be good because of the new Harry Potter book and movie.

Pratt says her dairy Potter will look like the character on the book covers. Visitors will be able to see Harry's glasses and scar. Pratt said she is still deciding on a pose.
The dairy cow is a state fair tradition. It's normally shown with another sculpture. Last year, Pratt made a butter Superman.
This year's Iowa State Fair runs from August 9 to 19.
The seventh and final Harry Potter book came out last week.
莎拉.帕特是個奶油天才,從她創作的新主題「哈利波特」就可知道。她將用奶油做出哈利的雕像,於下個月愛荷華州的展覽中展出,與一頭乳酪雕刻的乳牛並列。
該展覽和帕特都想展出流行物品的雕刻,他們覺得《哈利波特》最棒,因為該系列的新書和電影又出爐了。
帕特說她的乳酪哈利將長得很像小說封面上的模樣,參觀者也會看到他的眼鏡和傷疤。帕特目前還在構思哈利要擺的姿勢。
乳牛雕像是這個展覽的傳統,通常會搭配另外一個雕像,去年帕特製作的是奶油「超人」。
今年愛荷華州的展覽時間是八月九日至十九日。
第七集、也是最後一集的《哈利波特》已於上星期出版。

A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
It’s another school day with the same ritual. You wake up to your smartphone’s alarm, scroll through messages during your commute, and listen to your favorite playlist with your wireless earbuds between classes. These devices, integrated smoothly into your daily routine, certainly make life more convenient. However, where do these devices end up after you replace them? In fact, the issue of electronic waste is a growing global concern. According to the United Nations, in 2019 alone, we generated an astonishing 53.6 million tons of e-waste—an average of 7.3kg per person. Projections hint at the figure soaring to 110
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
