My friend llemma who is a BRILLIANT English teacher basically does this. She has a unit where she has the students figure out the major problems the characters are facing and then write themselves in and see how that changes the narrative and decide if they make it better or worse by going to Hogwarts with Harry or to the Other Mother with Coraline. Her class is amazing.
