In a particular chapter, you take control of Seamus Finnigan and plant charges of some sort around covered bridge in Hogwarts. Since when does alohomora take five minutes to cast? What is Hermione doing all that time? How is it that doors within the super-secure Gringott's Bank can be opened with such an elementary spell? Another trope: the explosive-planting mission.
