Young wizard’s wife with list showing craftsperson’s tool (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

potters wheel

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

'craftsperson's tool' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'young wizard's wife with list' is the wordplay.
'young wizard's' becomes 'Potter's' (Harry Potter).
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'list' becomes 'heel' (both can mean to lean or tilt).
'potters'+'w'+'heel'='POTTERS WHEEL'

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for potters wheel that I've seen before include "where creation is thrown" , "On which items are "thrown"" , "ceramicist's machine" .)
