13. How Come Polyjuice Potion Is So Easy (And Quick)?

In the first book series, it was very well established that Polyjuice Potion required serious preparation and no small amount of skill to master.

Hermione - a prodigiously talented student - managed to balls it up the first time she tried despite the massive preparation she put in (and she was later lauded for being able to do it despite her young age). So how come Albus and Scorpius, who aren't exactly model students, are seemingly just casually able to brew some up.

They don't even seem to be subject to the brewing time. WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE RULES?!
