Every game had its own rules. Before the age of eleven, Muggle-born children studied alongside Muggles. Besides basic subjects such as language, writing, and mathematics, they also had to learn, like their Muggle friends, to obey, preparing themselves for their future "shared lives."
Every society had its standards and norms. Vernon Dursley had established himself in society through them, and he took pride in that. Yet upon entering the Wizarding World, the first thing one had to do was discard the rules learned at school and at home, and obey "wizard" laws and another system.

Yet Grindelwald had not described in detail the "future" he envisioned. Instead, he told others what would happen if they did not rise up and resist, which happened to be what he excelled at—prophecy.
