The West Australian’s sarcastic front page depicting Mark McGowan as Harry Potter and Peter Dutton as his nemesis Voldemort has gone viral across the nation.

The “Mark McGowan And The Not That Smart Absolutely Crazy Extremist” splash on Tuesday has the new Federal Opposition leader standing over the Premier with wand at the ready, seemingly about to strike.

But Mr McGowan, wearing the wizard’s iconic round specs, looks unperturbed.

The cover was inspired when Mr McGowan unloaded on Mr Dutton, branding him an “extremist” who isn’t “that smart”.

As part of the Premier’s huge spray, he also labelled the Liberal Party — at State and Federal level — a “fringe group”.
