Literary subject annoy some ceramist? (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

harry potter

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

'literary subject' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'annoy some ceramist?' is the wordplay.
'annoy' becomes 'harry' (harrying is a kind of annoying).
'some ceramist?' becomes 'potter' ('potter' can be a synonym of 'ceramist').
'harry'+'potter'='HARRY POTTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harry potter that I've seen before include "J. K. Rowling hero" , "J.K. Rowling's eponymous hero" , "Pupil at Hogwarts" , "Hero of fantasy books" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
