- Items which play a significant role within the series

- Normal items such as swords, wands, etc. will only be accepted on a general basis unless it has a proven significance (see above rule)
- Special events with significance to the movie, book, or series are accepted.
- An example would be the Yule Ball in Harry Potter. If it has a title, then it may be approvable.
- "Promotional Materials" of a particular TV show, movie, or book.

- "Costumes of" a series are approvable and will cover the entire series
- Fictional places, cities, buildings etc.
- Not Approvable in this Category:
