The thing is, I don't think Gandalf really likes to use his magic. He's not really supposed to use it that much, anyway. And he's definitely not allowed to use it in a way which makes people afraid of him, and/or forces them into submission (like Saruman did).
I can picture the whole Thranduil (or as you call him "Thirandiril") thing, but I don't really think so.
