I did try to read the books but, though I enjoyed The Hobbit, I didn’t make it through the first LotR book; as such, the movie depiction is the only one I really know. Not to say that makes it more accurate or anything, just my only experience with it.
It’s interesting that Peter Jackson’s depiction was so good that people now just assume that’s how it always was.

Probably same applies for most people. Those books are very slow at times and hard to get through.
