Will have his curiosity raised

A "controlling" idea is an idea that makes a reader ask a question. Any time a topic sentence has a good "controlling" idea, the reader will have his or her curiosity raised.

Please explain to me the grammar of "will have her curiosity raised".

My understanding:

The reader:subject

Will have: perfect future tense

Her curiosity: indirect object

Raised: past participle to form perfect tense.

Thanks
