Emma Watson<\/a> has gagged an Oxford bicycle shop to stop it revealing the secrets of a recent ‘party on wheels’ she hosted at her home, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the Harry Potter<\/a> star, who has swapped acting to study at Oxford University<\/a>, hired more than a dozen bicycles for friends from the shop, covering the wicker baskets with flowers for the occasion.<\/p>\n

The group \u2013 dressed in white linen suits and dresses, with some sporting wide-brimmed hats \u2013 posed for a photo in front of Ms Watson’s Oxford home, which was decorated with an elaborate floral archway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the MoS revealed that the star had bought the nine-bedroom mansion, which boasts a sauna and jacuzzi.<\/p>\n

However, it has emerged that the 35-year-old, who rose to fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, insisted all bike shop staff sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to stop them revealing any details of the day.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the floral arrangements led locals to claim that Ms Watson was hosting a wedding for a friend, possibly a woman who stood out from the all-white group in a floaty pink dress. A taxi driver was also heard mentioning ‘a bride’ to an onlooker.<\/p>\n

A source said: ‘The team were all asked to sign non-disclosure agreements so we couldn’t talk about who was renting the bikes or whether they were being used for a wedding.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ms Watson \u2013 who has also starred in Little Women and Beauty and the Beast \u2013 looked relaxed as she perched on her bike, wearing a white, short-sleeved dress and white trainers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the photos, the group cycled off in the direction of The Perch, a local riverside pub beloved by the actress.<\/p>\n

It does not appear that Ms Watson’s new love interest was among the party guests.<\/p>\n

The Dior ambassador \u2013 who is doing a master’s degree in creative writing at Lady Margaret Hall \u2013 was spotted last month on a date with a mystery man in Port Meadow, Oxford, where they enjoyed al-fresco painting.<\/p>\n

She was previously linked to Kieran Brown, a former PhD student at Oxford.<\/p>\n

Ms Watson also made headlines recently when she was banned from driving for six months for speeding.<\/p>\n
