The Protagonist in "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp"

Read the excerpt from "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.”

But far away in Africa the magician remembered Aladdin, and by his magic arts discovered that Aladdin, instead of perishing miserably in the cave, had escaped, and had married a princess, with whom he was living in great honour and wealth. He knew that the poor tailor's son could only have accomplished this by means of the lamp, and travelled night and day till he reached the capital of China, bent on Aladdin's ruin. . . . He was determined to get hold of the lamp, and again plunge Aladdin into the deepest poverty.

Who is the protagonist? Aladdin is the protagonist. the magician i think Explanation: see how the paragraph starts with ''But far away in Africa the magician remembered Aladdin,'' and then goes on saying ''and by his magic arts discovered that Aladdin, instead of perishing miserably in the cave, had escaped, and had married a princess, with whom he was living in great honour and wealth.'' it basically says the magician used magic to find out where he was and what he was doing. then it basically says that he (the magician) wants the lamp. so i think its the magician :D
