Ok, lets analyze this a little more. I don't like making sweeping generalizations, but lets make some assumptions. Lets assume a near equal number of individuals from age ranges from 6-15 and 25-50 saw the Harry potter movies when they were "relevant", this is to say, when it was released. Now, let's assume a large percentage of those 6-15 year olds read the books prior, more than those from the 25-50 age range.
Now, if we think about this, we can see about half the individuals that followed the movies were around the age of the actors, and the other half, much older. Now, when these 6-15 year olds grow up (well, they have already, physically at least...some make me wonder), they will not remember the characters are they were when they first saw them, but perhaps think of them as around their own age group.
This reasoning then can show how some individuals can be attracted to someone they associate to their own age. Can you not say that, when thinking back to your middle-school days, you don't remember with fondness the attraction you might have had on your crush at the time?
You can then compare this to the adults that saw the actors as kids. They will still associate the characters as kids, even as adults. This isn't uncommon among many individuals who grow up around younger people. Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone completely. You'll still have people who won't fall into any group.
