In books this happened in The Hobbit, as did the use of some flash effect to blind a bunch of goblins, and also some sort of spell to extinguish all the goblins' lights to allow the captured dwarves to escape.

In Fellowship Gandalf's direct and blatant spell casting was limited to (failing) spells of unbinding and opening on the door to Moria. He allowed that he could cast more while they were on Caradras (and the bad weather there was never shown to be more than the mountain's normal state) but that every magically attuned being for hundreds of miles would know he'd done it.
