It all comes down to this: Avada Kedavra. Really.

Use the Force all you want, but Avada Kedavra, while usually said out loud, can be used nonverbally. Also, everyone who says wands are needed to fight needs to think for a sec because numerous times I have watched and read wizards use spells and curses wandless!
