I'm a keen roleplayer, and the way that games usually get round the 
problem of 'why don't you use your best spell over and over all the 
time?' is that more powerful magic is draining in some way, usually 
mentally or physically exhausting. 

Or perhaps it is the fact that AK is a hard spell to cast 
successfully - a certain chance of casting a simple 'Expelliarmus' 
much be a better bet in a fight than a low chance of summoning the 
extreme darkness and hate needed to cast a successful AK.

Just speculation from an RPG point of view.
