I've always pictured the ents being about 8-10 feet tall, and having dark brown bark for skin, with long noses that look kind of like short branches. And I have to admit, the first time I read LotR, I thought that the elves were pixie-like creatures, you know, Santa Claus elves. It wasn't until I saw the LotR trailer on commercial and saw Legolas. I thought, "That must be the elf." The good news is I only thought that about the elves Frodo, Pippin, and Sam met in the old forest. And it was only that one time.
