Question for my Harry Potter friends

[switch842]

I just finished watching Order of the Phoenix again and I have a possibly random question. Now, I've never read the book, so it may be answered in there, but in the scene in the end where they basically destroy that prophecy room, what happens to those prophecies? Do they get "destroyed" or something like that? Or does nothing happen? Are they still in existence?

Ah, ok. I was thinking that the balls or whatever were mostly just "recording devices." I haven't read any of the books, but feel free to spoil me. I know most of what happens already, anyway. :-D
