Adrian Rawlins plays the older James Potter. He was first seen in the Mirror 
of Erised scene in the first movie and is seen in pictures in other films, 
as well as coming out of Voldemort's wand in Goblet of Fire.  Young James 
Potter is played by Robbie Jarvis in Order of the Phoenix.  Robbie Jarvis is 
20 now, so probably 19 at the time of filming.

As to why they didn't just have Daniel play him, well, I guess they're not 
taking the "you look exactly like your father" thing literally.
