It was foretold by Sybil Trelawny to Professor Dumbledore. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not … and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies …

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not... One must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies."
The prophecy in fact referred to two boys born at the end of July: Harry Potter (born 31 July 1980) and Neville Longbottom (born 30 July 1980). While Harry was a half-blood with a Muggle-born mother, Neville was pure-blood, which by Voldemort's creed was the only type of wizard worth knowing.
However, in a move seemingly because he saw himself in Harry, Voldemort (who was himself a half-blood) made his move on Harry on the 31st of October 1981, which was All Hallows Eve. His parents, James and Lily Potter, were both killed in the attack, but sacrificed themselves for their only son. This sacrifice, especially on Lily's part, enabled a shield of protection and love to save Harry from the Dark Lord's Killing Curse that night and protected him until the age of seventeen.
The power that he knows not was revealed in later years to be the power of love, albeit Lily's love for her son, but it could possibly also be referring to Harry's love for his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who stood by him throughout the Second Wizarding War, and for his girlfriend (later wife), Ginny Weasley, who was the driving force behind his defeat of Voldemort in 1998.

Harry Potter learned to apparate in the sixth book of the series Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.He took lessons with his classmates but was one of the few people in his year who was not seventeen come test time and so he never sat his test with Ron (who failed) and Hermione.Despite Harry not having taken the test and Ron failing, both of them apparated several times throughout the seventh book and no doubt re-took the test after the war was over.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released in Australia in 1997.

"The big deal" is that it's what prompted Voldemort to go after Harry in the first place. The prophecy speaks of an enemy with powers to match the Dark Lord's -- that's Harry. Voldemort attacked Harry because of the prophecy, because he believed that the person of whom the prophecy spoke was his one and only threat. No prophecy=no Harry Potter books. ;)
Answer: because he has more power than him Answer: It is all about the prophecy. Voldemort is worried, precisely because of the prophecy, about the possibility that Harry Potter may eventually defeat him.

This is revealed in a later book. Voldemort heard about a certain prophecy, according to which a child, born in July, might cause his downfall. This may have referred to Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom; for some reason, Voldemort decided it referred to Harry Potter - and the very fact that he tried to kill him caused the prophecy to refer to Harry Potter.This is revealed in a later book.

Harry potter and the deathly hallows come out in March
Harry Potter came out before Percy Jackson.
In the prophecy it says"neither can live while the other survives". So Harry and Voldemort have to die, so one of them can survive.
They're prophecies, but they don't all come true. Supposedly if you break one open, the prophecy is revealed.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort is discovered. In short the prophecy states that the one born (being interpreted as Harry) will be marked as Voldermorts equal and have power to defeat him. Because, in other words neither if them can "survive" while the other is still alive.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's book, video games, and movie have already come out.
Actually his main target was Harry Potter. The reason he wanted to kill him was because of a prophecy.
