Hello and welcome! If you are a reader of any of my previous phics, I've no doubt you are already well assured of the full madness to which I am capable of. (Unless of course you restricted yourself to Midnight Suitor, which was serious) Any reader and sing-a-longer of Ode to Insanity, or Mirror Between Worlds come to think of it, will know my obsession for Monty Python and so here it is the Phantomised Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail! Now forever imprinted in your Cause For Insanity forms as Erik Python and the Search for the Holy Manuscript! (Of Don Juan Triumphant). Now let's get one thing straight before we begin, the Monty Python lads were a marvellous but few bunch, and while I have a little more scope with combining two books, a play and a movie together, there will still be some doubling up of the characters, so bear with me and let the madness begin!
It also helps if you have a passing knowledge of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail…actually you might just want to rewatch it before reading this. And while I solemnly swear the rest will NOT be in script form, there was kind of no other way to begin the opening credits

There were two lines cut from the Australian release of Half Blood Prince and probably the American version as well (though you guys ended up with Sorcerer's Stone instead of Philosopher's Stone) that Dumbledore said to Draco that made the whole thing make more sense!

The directors of the firm hired to continue the credits after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.
The credits have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute
(Crazy colours and Mexican music while Gerard Butler does a striptease to the Mexican Hat dance…now there's an odd mental image)
