In most movies and in all the Potter movies except for the third there are scenes that were filmed but not put in the movie, not because the director thought they were bad but because he thought it would make the movie too long. All I can say is that you must really REALLY like the credits, I think they are about as interesting as reading the phone book and about as long.

So the only purpose of those endless credits is to cater to those who don't want a internet connection AND don't want to visit a public library but DO have an overpowering urge to know what the name of the best boy on the second unit was. How many people on planet earth do you imagine fit that category, ten, twelve? And I don't even know what a "best boy" does, but I could find out in seconds on the internet if I was interested. I'm not.
