Red Carpet Showdown: Harry Potter vs. Voldemort!

There are many possible reactions an audience can have to onscreen nudity. Gasps come to mind. Maybe a whoop of some sort. But high-fives?

Apparently that's the reaction some Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 fans gave during a scene in which Daniel Radcliffe strips down to his skivvies.

It was all a bit shocking for the star, too:

"I don' think a high-five is a standard reaction to any topless shot. Like, 'Yes!'" he told E! News' Jason Kennedy during the Live From the Red Carpet coverage of today's premiere of Deathly Hallows in New York.

Also tackling the tough issues was Daniel's onscreen nemesis Lord Voldemort, Ralph Fiennes. Fiennes filled us in on why it's fun to play the villain.

"I think there's something we all are attracted to in bad guys. None of us has the courage, quite, to be that bad. We can identify with them for a bit."
