Taya asks:
I'm just starting to read Order of the Phoenix (currently on ch6) and am 
curious why Voldemort wanted the Prophecy. Now I think about it, I wonder 
this from watching the film (where this desire was never explained).

Was Voldemort simply after finding out the whole Prophecy? Or was it, as 
suggested, powerful enough to be used for evil (like a weapon).

Sorry if this has been asked before.
