So Melissa let me see if I have this right, you would prefer to have a super long credit roll rather than add a additional 2 possibly 3 otherwise missing subplots to a Potter movie?? Should they have done the same thing for the books and listed every technician who operated the printing presses and every waitress that served him when they went for lunch and every warehouse worker who shifted boxes of books? If the book got too big with all those credits they could have asked JKR to trim some subplots from her novel to make room for them. Does that sound like a good idea to you?

You're right, that is hard to believe. 

> "AND many don't want home access". 

And they don't want to go to the library AND they are still desperate to know who was the third assistant caterer for the second unit? I do not believe there are "many people" like that.

Face it, its a ego thing, people just want to say their name was in a Harry Potter movie, so how about a compromise; just increase the rate the credits roll so they only take 15 seconds instead of 8 minutes. Nobody could read them but nobody reads them anyway and you could still say your name was in the movie and could even prove it if you carefully freeze framed the DVD.  

>"Classic movies may not have had long credits but they also didn't have all of the technical/computer advances of modern films".

Even modern non special effects movies that consist of nothing but talking heads have endless credits, and this madness must end.
