Well, if ya want my point of view, I read the Hobbit WAY before the movie FOTR came out, and I only read LOTR after seeing the movie, so I only had the Hobbit to go on. But I'd imagined a slimy Halfling-sized creature with long, black groping fingers, perhaps something like a mole with large round eyes that were adept at seeing in the dark. He/It wold have had long legs and fin-like feet and hands for swimming, a keen sense of smell, and, obviously, a love for treasure, as was made clear in the LOTR. That's how I'd imagined him.

As Frodo did so, he now saw fine lines, finer than the finest pen-strokes, running along the ring, outside and inside: lines of fire that seemed to form the letters of a flowing script. They shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth. 'I cannot read the fiery letters,' said Frodo in a quavering voice. 'No,' said Gandalf, 'but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough: One Ring to Bring them all and in the darkness bind them.'"
