As a reader, there are things I will judge heavily (and not so heavily) when deciding what to read.
Writer Profile
Cover
Blurb
Any parts in your book that occur before the first chapter
The first chapter is a make it or break it for me...
I'm a novice writer slightly obsessed with reading.
Ok, more than slightly obsessed.
Oh, and if you're not a Harry Potter fan, get out.
Just get out.
...but if you like my writing, I guess you can stay. :)

Breakdown
You bring up your love of reading, but don't touch much at all on why you love writing. If you were strictly a reade, that would be fine. But I don't know anything about your writer side from this. I can't grow a connection to you.
Spelling and punctuation
It's fine. There's not much writing here to judge your capabilities with either.
Likability
I don't like it. I bring up in my guide book (chapter on writing profiles) that showing hostility toward anyone who doesn't like something is rude behavior. Whether it's meant to be sarcastic, cute or serious. There is no tone of voice in writing.
If I saw you talking in the threads and decided to click on your profile, I wouldn't continue to your books because of this. I've seen this done many times in different degrees and decided to just move on from anyone who does this, even if I do like whatever they seem obsessed over.
Final Grade and final thoughts
Again, I wouldn't continue, but this is my personal preferrence. Sarcasm isn't all that uncommon in profiles, it just turns me off as a reader.

Overall appearance
The above, obviously, isn't your cover.
So, here are my thoughts on yours. Make it go away. That's it. It isn't personal. It doesn't give me any vibe on your book. It doesn't show emotion. The font is all sorts of bad. Yes, my font is horrible too, but it's my handwriting so I have a good excuse.
