Here's another credit freak over here, raising her hand.  :D

I love to watch credits, but I did have to get up and leave toward 
the end of GoF.  My bottom was just too numb.  I do like knowing all 
the music info, as the other poster stated, the who sang that?  
stuff.  I don't know why, but I like it.  Could they have sped them 
up and done the hospital scene instead?  Oh, yeah, I would have 
loved that.  Very much so.  I'm just hoping there's some good 
deleted scenes when I get my DVD. ;)  Speaking of DVD, I wish there 
was a way we could integrate cut/deleted scenes into the movie 
instead of having to watch them separately.  With all the technology 
available to work with, you would think they would give us the 
option to do that.
