Voldemort wanted his wand because it was the most powerful wand in the wizarding world (a.k.a The Elder Wand).
The wand measures 14 inches in length.
Lord Voldemort began using the Elder wand straight after he stole it from Dumbledore's grave, although he did notice that it wasn't working as well as it should for him.
the elder wand is a wand made to lose no battle by killing his/hers opponent. The wand had belonged to albus dumbldore but voldemort has now possessed by killing his old owner severous snape
Lord Voldemort believes that Snape is the true master of the Elder Wand because Snape killed Dumbledore. In order to gain the wand's allegiance, he kills Snape. However, Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore before that, so Snape had never been the true master.
Harry used the Hawthorn wand that was previously Draco Malfoy's. It went like this:In order to truly own the Elder wand, a wizard would have to take the wand of the current master against their wishes. Albus Dumbledore was the true master of the Elder wand. Draco Malfoy became the next true owner when he disarmed Albus Dumbledore right before his death. However, the Elder wand was buried with Dumbledore. Draco never knew he was the new master. Later, Harry took Draco's Hawthorn wand while he was escaping Malfoy Manor. Since Malfoy was the current master of the Elder wand, this passed the Elder wand's ownership on to Harry. In the meantime, Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's tomb and stole the Elder wand. Voldemort thought that Snape was the new master, as he had killed Dumbledore, not realizing that Draco had disarmed Dumbledore. Voldemort killed Snape and believed himself to be the new Elder wand master. When it came down to the final duel in the Great Hall, Voldemort used the Elder wand that Harry was now master of. Voldemort cast an Avada Kedavra curse at Harry. Harry cast an Expelliarmus spell. Since Harry was the master of the wand Voldemort was using, the Elder Wand would not kill its true master, therefore, Voldemort's Avada Kedavra rebounded off of the Expelliarmus and killed him.
