Recent studies have shown that logarithmic divergence of entanglement entropy as a function of the size of a subsystem is a signature of criticality in quantum models. We demonstrate that the ground-state entanglement entropy of n sites for the ferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-(1/2) chain of the length L in a sector with fixed magnetization y per site grows as (1/2)log{sub 2}[n(L-n)/L]C(y), where C(y)=2{pi}e((1/4)-y{sup 2})
