In Brian Sibley's book, the Official Movie Guide, he talks about the size

I thought i read or heard in an interview, or one of the books, or some such that Peter Jackson wanted the height differences to be natural - as in, if Martin Freeman is 5'8" (i don't remember if that is right) and the Dwarves were supposed to be up to about 6" taller, then the actors playing the Dwarves would be about 5'8" up to about 6'2" or thereabouts which is approximately what we have.
differences. Not all of the dwarves are mentioned, but Thorin is supposed to be 5', Bilbo 4' 11.5", Gandalf 5' 11", the Goblin King 10'. They had to show the differences in height completely differently in this movie because of the HFR. They couldn't use the forced perspective like they did in LOTR films. They did a lot of larger & smaller scale doubles and differently scaled sets in scenes that included the shorter folk and the taller ones like Gandalf and Elrond. BTW it's a fascinating book. Much better than the Movie Companion IMO, because it goes into so much more depth and detail about everything.

Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

Absolutely. The talent to pull it off is there, from acting and writing to design, and everything in-between.
