I'm pretty sure all the characters are two or three years older. In one scene with King Robert in the first season they referred to the overthrow of Aerys as being 17 years ago, whereas in the book they refer to it as being 14 years ago.
I agree they made them all a bit older so it wasn't so weird. Danaerys was born after King Aerys died, which makes her 14 in the books. But in the show she'd be more like 17.
