Oliver Woods describes the twins as human bludgers when he's teaching 
Harry about Quidditch in the chapter "Halloween" in book one.  I took 
this to mean they're energetic, restless, unpredictable, maybe a 
little dangerous.  They're described as stocky in GoF, when Harry 
meets Charlie for the first time, he sees Charlie is "built like the 
twins, shorter and stockier than Ron and Percy, who were both long 
and lanky."  I always picture them as taller than Ron for some 
reason, and of an average build.  Oh, well...
