Daniel Radcliffe excitedly watches NFL draft

Daniel Radcliffe looked thoroughly spellbound sitting in the front row of Radio City Music Hall last night for the NFL Draft.

The "Harry Potter" star put away his quidditch gear to attend the event, as he has become a football fanatic. The actor, who has starred in two Broadway plays in the past two years and recently wrapped principal photography in the city on the beat generation film "Kill Your Darlings," says that he roots for the Giants.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE'S A PING PONG MASTER

When Nylon magazine asked Radcliffe earlier this year what he did in the average non-working day, he said, "I read, I play Madden on Xbox, I check and revise my fantasy football team as well as doing a lot of the search about the NFL. I love the NFL. Im obsessed."

Daniel Radcliffe sat in the front row of the NFL Draft yesterday.

He later explained, "When I was doing 'Equus,' I got into football. Boomer, who was one of the crew, basically christened me a Giants fan. Then somebody started a fantasy league and that was it. I [bleeping] love it. It's a great sport."

Radcliffe waited patiently last night until the end of Round 1 before the Giants claimed running back David Wilson of Virginia Tech with the 32nd pick. But the star no doubt took careful note of the previous picks, as well, to boost his fantasy league prospects next season.
