It is very true that Magnet's middle portion is the strongest , but only from inside (like in solenoid). Degree of attraction of particles depends on the magnetic fields present in a region . But the magnetic field present in the middle region of a magnet is the least and thus attraction of the iron particles will also be the least! So I hope it's clear to you now.!! Refer to a fig. of diagram with fields shown on it. It may help you more effectively.
