The only specific thing I can remember is it was about the seventh son of a seventh son. It was fantasy and the seventh son had magical abilities and had to do something with it. I think he may have also had to find various objects but I could be mixing that up with something else I read. If anyone knows the series I am thinking of I would love the author and/or names of the books. I have already been getting my nieces and nephew interested in a lot of the fantasy I read when I was young and would love to include these.

Might it actually have been The Dark is Rising series? Here's a writeup 
of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Is_Rising

That was always one of my favourite series of books growing up. (And 
"significant changes" or not, I'm looking forward to the movie.)
