I believe the answer is:

stereotype

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'categorise' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'harry potter's eye' is the wordplay.
'harry' is an anagram indicator (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'potters'+'eye'='potterseye'
'potterseye' is an anagram of 'STEREOTYPE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stereotype that I've seen before include "Pigeonhole" , "Conventional image" , "Spring back (in fear)" , "Fixed conventionalised image" , "received idea?" .)
