It was the most commercially successful relationship between author and agent in literary history, with J K Rowling having sold 450 million copies of her books.

Rowling is now represented by Neil Blair, a business partner of Christopher Little, at his new agency The Blair Partnership. Rowling worked closely with Blair on her new website, Pottermore, unveiled at the end of June, which will be the only place where ebook versions of her books will be sold.

Little is reported to be considering legal action. At the weekend, a spokesman for him said that he was 'disappointed,' but 'proud of the role he had played.'

Rowling is reputedly worth more than £568 million.
