Harry filled Ron in about the package
(from Harry Potter, "Halloween")
"To fill in" is "to replace", right? But in this context, the meaning is clearly different, something like "continuously tried to raise a topic" or something like that.
Why did Rowling use "to fill in " here? What is exact meaning of the phrase?
Top answer
It means that Harry gave Ron the information that was new, or that Ron did not know. Fill in = update with details
