To be the only person who actually answers OP’s question, here is the truth: women are creatures who top and main concern is social status, social points, and being collectivists. The surge in HP popularity came not with the end of the books, nor entirely with the end of the movies, but with the creation of a site called Pottermore. Basically a horoscope site that categorizes people into different HP house. Rowling also started tweeting more, casting herself as the perfect SJW and a feminist icon. It was here that the female fandom rose, it had all the ingredients: horoscopes, feminism, and the status of being a member of the HP fan club. I gurantee you that the majority of modern female HP fans did not grow up with the books, but became retroactive fans. Some of the more fanatic followers went back and actually read the books, to dive deeper into the lore.
