bildungsroman:
“formation novel” (German); a novel that chronicles the development of a hero or heroine from youth to maturity.
Use THAT in a sentence today and I'll buy you a coffee.
It was used in a review of the new Harry Potter book on the NY Times website. The review doesn't give the ending of the book away, but there are some details revealed, so don't read if you want to remain a blank slate for the book.
