Calling all film nerds.

Rare and iconic memorabilia from some of history’s most celebrated movies -- including the acceptance letter from Hogwarts in Harry Potter to the complete suit from Batman -- are going up for auction.

 

Prop Store is putting 900 items -- valued at more than $7.5 million — up for sale over two days on September 30 and October 1 at London’s BFI IMAX.

Take a look at what's on sale.
